Pina Esposito lead us through a wonderful full day visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum after Christmas 2016. I emailed her to come up with a plan and she always responded promptly and was willing to adjust the itinerary to meet our needs. We paid her in two installments via Pay Pal which was easy for us. She met us at the Naples train station personally and provided a clean, modern bus with driver to quickly shuttle us for the day. We were a family group of 10 - ages 7-71. Pina provided informative commentary to clearly explain the sites and answered our questions with enthusiasm taking care to engage with each of us. I never felt she wasted a minute of our time - she had an efficient plan to show us the best of each site. She also showed concern by asking for parent approval first before stopping at the ruins of a brothel with our children. It was maybe overprotective of her but smart to do. She is definitely a pro as a tour guide; her qualifications are well reported by Rick Steves yet not every Phd in archaeology has the temperament to adapt as cheerfully to those she's escorting. She's gifted in that regard - She was lovely to spend the day with. And her suggested lunch stop was delicious and reasonable. I'd highly recommend her to others - If you're only going to Pompeii and/or Herculaneum once, do it right and let Dr. Esposito show you the best the sites have to offer.
