Ilaria was our lovely, lively tour guide. She is an archeologist and has worked on Pompeii digs in the past. She is full of wonderful stories and explanations for Pompeii. Anyone would be very fortunate to have her as a guide. I loved her cat umbrella!

Our tour was led by Ilaria T., who is an archeologist and has been working at Pompeii for many years. She is extremely knowledgeable and mixed information with humor. Pompeii, of course, was an amazing experience, but Ilaria really made the visit special.
