We are truly lucky to have Lello Raffaele guide us tour in Pompeii Scavi last Saturday. He is totally out of our expectation. I hate history actually, but he makes this tour full of fun and interesting historical stories. The short hours tour makes me love Pompeii and bought a book about it afterwards. Even search for Pompeii's relevant movies... More

I met Lello at Pompeii Scavi train station (very easy to get to from Sorrento) for a half day tour of Pompeii. Lello has an easygoing style which I appreciated and he lead me through this fascinating place providing a wealth of information. The 21/2 hours flew by and at the end I felt that I had learned a lot... More

I have just returned from a school trip to Sorrento with 46 teenage students and 5 other teachers. I met Lello in 2011 when he acted as our tour guide in Pompeii, Amalfi and Capri. He was fantastic then, and we were so lucky to have him once again this year! Lello is a gentleman, a family man, who has... More

We did the full day Pompeii and Amalfi coast trip. Our driver Alessandro picked us up promptly at 730am and drove us to Pompeii where we met our guide Lello at 930am. Lello was wonderful! He made Pompeii come alive for us with his enthusiasm and passion for his subject coupled with his sense of humor and whimsy. My husband... More

We decided to hire a tour guide to see Pompeii, and we're so glad that we did. Lello guided the three of us deftly around the massive tour groups, and after three hours, we really felt like we'd learned so much and seen a ton. He speaks excellent English (and Spanish), and the personal feel of the tour really made... More

With only one day to visit both sites, we decided that a guided tour would be best. After some searching we found Tours of Pompeii and the trip advisor comments and rating provided the confidence to put ourselves in the hands of Lello & Co. We opted for the full day experience, being picked up at our Sorrento Hotel by... More

We were so fortunate to find Tours of Pompeii and Lello! His knowledge, enthusiasm, and sense of the place, coupled with his personal charisma, and sense of humor, made the day for us. We asked questions, and he asked us questions as well - it was like a tour, a classical history tutorial, and a walk with a proud host... More

I have been fascinated with Pompeii ever since I was a little girl when I read a children’s story book about the volcanic eruption. When we planned our trip to Italy in May 2013, I knew I definitely wanted to go to Pompeii and see history come to life. I originally looked at ours on other websites that provided transportation...

I have to say I wasn't too interested in going on the tour. (I'm the aforementioned wife from Joseph H's review.) I have to now say though that this was an experience of a life time. With Lello's expertise and humor, you will be charmed and learn a lot...but not as a boring lecture. Trust me. Lello made what I... More

Lello is a charming, funny, interesting, very well-informed, very welcoming guide for a tour we took of both Pompeii and Herculaneum. He interested my previously-not-very-interested wife in the classical life of Roman citizens and answered in detail every question I, the very-interested-in-classical-antiquities husband, posed to him. My wife came away with a new appreciation for ancient civilization and I came... More
