Thank you so much for an amazing, wonderful tour. The guide was so well informed and I really could have listened to him forever. He actually had me in tears a couple of times, his words were so powerful and vivid. A very impactful tour, Gracias!

Raffaele was an excellent tour guide--so knowledgeable and yet very accessible to my middle-school students. They were fascinated by the tour of the forum and of a real Roman domus, and they couldn't believe they were really looking at Mount Vesuvius! Thank you again for the opportunity to visit Pompeii from a distance!
