Private Pompeii And Herculaneum Tour Reviews

Fascinating from Start to Finish

This was the highlight of our week in southern Italy. Alessandro made ancient history easy to imagine, and seeing actual remnants of wood and household items at Herculaneum was surreal. LivTours took care of everything — truly a seamless day.

Smooth, Informative, and Unforgettable

Our chauffeur was right on time, and our guide led us through both sites with precision. The House of Julia Felix was my favorite — the frescoes were stunning. We ended the day tired but grateful for such an enriching experience.

Inspiring, Humbling, and Beautiful

Seeing Mount Vesuvius from both towns really put history into perspective. Enzo was a wonderful storyteller, and he made the science of the eruption easy to grasp. This tour truly connects you to the people who lived and lost everything there.

Beyond the Tourist Trail

We booked this private tour to avoid the big crowds, and it was perfect. The ruins of Herculaneum were quiet and fascinating — you could almost hear the echoes of the past. LivTours curated an experience that felt both educational and deeply personal.

A Journey Through Time

Our guide Marco helped us imagine the city as it once was, pointing out original mosaics and bakeries. The transport between sites was smooth, and we loved the personal touch throughout the day. Highly recommended for those who love history with heart.

Incredible for Students of History

As a retired teacher, I’ve studied Pompeii for years, but seeing it in person was life-changing. The LivTours guide was patient and engaging, answering every question in depth. Herculaneum’s preservation felt like walking into a museum without walls.

A Day That Brings the Past Alive

This tour was unforgettable. Sabrina painted vivid pictures of ancient Roman life — markets, theaters, and temples. The Herculaneum site was quieter and even more moving. Our chauffeur, Giovanni, was excellent too.

Private Tour Makes All the Difference

We visited during peak season and were so glad we went private. Our guide navigated us away from the crowds, giving us time to explore Pompeii’s baths and frescoed homes at our own pace. The private transfer made it stress-free.

Pompeii Was Grand, Herculaneum Was Personal

I didn’t expect to be so moved by Herculaneum. The wooden furniture, even the stairs, are still there — haunting and beautiful. Francesca was the best guide we’ve had in Italy, knowledgeable and kind.

Perfect Pairing of Sites and Stories

We added the vineyard lunch after the tour, and it was the ideal way to end the day — local wine, Mount Vesuvius in the background, and fresh pasta. The history in the morning and the food in the afternoon created a perfect rhythm.
