A great family tour of Pompeii

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a tour with Alex in October with our two children who are 8 and 10. We all really enjoyed it. Alex was so knowledgeable and was brilliant at engaging the kids in the history of pompei. They walked for two hours without even realising! It was a great tour and experience and I would highly recommend. He made the whole process from booking, communication and info about the area really easy.

Alex is an absolute gem!

Published on Sep, 2024

Alex exceeded all of our expectations. He was super engaging and accomodating to our daughter who was still suffering from jet lag and the summer heat and humidity (as well as her ADHD). He took our suggestions on how to interact with her and seamlessly integrated it into his storytelling, facts and tour pace. Plus he was still really fun and informative to the adults too. We came away having learned a ton. He is such a knowledgeable and personable guide, I could not recommend him any higher. Would do another tour with him any day!

Unforgettable experience for my young teens and us!

Published on Aug, 2024

From the moment of booking the whole experience with Alex tours it could not have been better! I had previously read reviews and knew I had to book Alex for our trip. He does get booked up so I did this a few months in our advance back in the UK. Fantastic I could book directly too and the website was easy to use with full instructions prior to visiting. I was keen to get a guide as I have two 13 year olds and my priority was making sure they were engaged. We were visiting in August so knew it would be hot and busy and if they were entertained and not waiting in queues we'd be able to enjoy it much more. Alex was incredible. We had his number and he text the morning of the visit to check what time we'd be arriving and ensure we knew where to meet. As our train was early he met us early and found a quiet spot to introduce himself to the boys. We then went straight in with our beat the queue tickets. Alex was so informative but made it all about entertaining the boys. He knew how to keep them interested. He knew exactly where to go at the best time and found shady spots as it was very hot. We got to know all about him and all agree at the end it was like meeting a new family member. It was perfect for our boys and great fun. The boys have said it was the highlight of the holiday and have already told grandparents all about Pompeii. Thank you Alex. We will be back to see you and promise to bring the Curly Wurlys and Oxtail soup!

Alex is the perfect tour guide of Pompeii for a family!

Published on Aug, 2024

Alex gave an absolutely fantastic tour in English to our family of four! In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable about Pompeii and Roman history in general, he is also great with kids. He directed the tour at our children but also made it entertaining and informative for adults. My husband said he learned so much that he feels like he could give a tour now, but he thinks he’ll leave it to the experts like Alex. ;) Alex also gave our kids a nice, high quality book about Pompeii, and my daughter read it all on our way back to the hotel. Doing this tour with Alex really made us feel like we could understand this ancient city in a way we never could have otherwise. We have only the highest praise for Alex and his company!

Fantastic

Published on Aug, 2024

WOW is all I have to say! There is no one better than Alex. He was amazing with the kids and had them focused the entire two hours. I highly recommend him!!
