Stepping back in time

What an amazing day !
We had an amazing tour with Daniela , she was so knowledgeable of everything that we were shown. It was overwhelming to be able to step back into time and see the ruins of Pompeii.
Daniela navigated the ruins perfectly keeping us away from the crowds to make our experience the best possible and it was greatly appreciated.
We hope to be able to return one day in the future and see new sites being discovered thru the new work being performed now and in the future.
Seeing the area another way would be a waste of time . If you aren't sure if hiring the private guide is worth it , trust us it is.
Thank you so much Daniela for such a memorable experience . We hope to see you again soon some day , until then stay well .
