We did a private tour of Herculaneum with a guide provided by Lello & CO. We were pleased with every aspect of it. I can't say enough good about it. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant.

What an enjoyable day! Rossana was a wonderful guide. She knew so many details that we wouldn't have gotten if we had gone on our own. It was nice the first time to Pompeii and Herculaneum to have a guide to see and learn what happen there all those centuries ago. We found it a amazing that there is still so much uncovered in Herculaneum. Rossana was very personable and you could tell that she loved what she was doing. We learn so much by having the time to tour the ruins in our own time. Great Tour!
