We are so pleased we had a tour of Pompeii with Raffaele. He was very knowledgeable and was able to point out lots of interesting aspects that we would have missed ourselves.  He was very friendly and easy going. We were able to skip the line and see plenty during our two hour tour. At the end of the tour, Raffaele gave us some further suggestions so that we could continue exploring Pompeii on our our own.

Raffaele was our tour guide for days, Sorrent and Pompeii, Amalfi, Capri and Naples, He was very friendly and very cooprative wit us (11 friends all females). 

his knowledge exceeded expectation and his ability to accomodate all our requests was amazing. 

We had two wonderful tours with Raffaele. 

The first was the ruins at Pompei where Raffaele demonstrated his excellent knowledge and enthusiasm for his subject. He really brought the past alive and we learned so much more than if we had visited alone.

The second day he showed us his home city of Naples. His pride in his city was obvious and his tour was fascinating. 

Raffaele was always polite, patient and helpful.

I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone  looking for a tour in this area.

Thanks to Raffaele, we had an unforgettable experience touring the ruins of Pompei. First and foremost, he is a great story-teller. And as an archeologist and an art historian, he’s got plenty of stories to tell. I am on a wheelchair, so at tourist hotspots I often get “trapped” inside other tour groups and get to to sample the narration from various tour guides. Most just drone on and on as if reciting from a Tour Guide 101 workbook. Raffaele is completely different. His passion is so infectious that he makes the past come alive. I’m not joking. A few times I had to choke back tears because Raffaele made me so emotional about what happened to the people in Pompei. He is also very organized, very professional. We were lucky to have him with us.

Rafaelle has to be one of the best tour guides i have ever had. his knowledge of Mt Vesuvuis and Herculaneun is outstanding. he told us he has a Masters degreee, and soon a PHD, in archeology and it showed. you can tell he has a passion for his work and he made our tour very enjoyable.

i would HIGHLY recomend Rafaelle if he is available for any tour that you might be trying to book.

TRIPLE AAA rating!!!!!!!!!
