Rick Steves: Host of an USA public television series and respected travel author says..."Gaetano is knowledgeable, energetic, intense, and theatrical — a joy to follow for two hours as he brings the dusty ruins to life, avoid impersonators!!

Find the real Gaetano only at the Porta Marina entrance — look for the guy wearing an official badge"

We recently went on a month long trip through Europe on our own in September 2009. We went on a variety of tours and with a variety of tour guides. We booked Gaetano well in advance and toured with him privately. We had high hopes as Gaetano has good reviews here in the forums etc as well recommended on by Rick Steve's and even appears in Rick Steve's TV series. Gaetano, not only met, but exceeded our expectations. He is all you hope for in a guide, friendly, knowledgeable, humorous, and easy to understand. Having been on a variety of tours on our trip we valued that Gaetano seemed to understand us and quickly paced the tour to us. He was always insightful giving real life examples and had us laughing on many occasions. We moved briskly seeing so much yet never felt rushed. Just the way we like to tour. Gaetano must give this tour so often, yet still delivers it with zest and uses you in his discussions. In the 2 hours we really felt we had seen the highlights and met a interesting person who seemed like a friend by the end of the tour and not a guide. For Gaetano’s knowledge, there is little to compare to other guides we had on our journey. Context tours in Rome were also excellent, but in every category Gaetano was just a bit better than everyone else. We saw areas most others do not, and truly felt we had seen the best with the best. Do not hesitate to book with Gaetano Manfredi. THANK YOU GAETANO FOR A GREAT TIME!

Slow Travel.com: Annie had set up a tour of Pompeii with Gaetano Manfredi, a private guide, who would meet us at the entrance. I can't say enough good things about him.He gave us a 2-hour tour. That doesn't seem like it would be long enough, but believe me he really gives you a thorough, concise explanation of Pompeii from design engineering to sanitation and water systems to art, which included some frescoes that show fine examples of perspective!

TRIP ADVISOR.com :  We just finished a 3 week trip to Italy and when folks ask us what our favorite place was, we tell them without hesitation - Pompeii. If you are a lover of history, you will be awed by the uniquely spectacular visit to this Roman town which is preserved in completeness and quality unlike anything I've seen before. And, since there is so much to see and so much to understand, you'll really benefit from a great tour guide. We highly recommend Gaetano Manfredi. He was recommended to us by Rick Steves and we give a loud second to this recommendation.
