I’m one of a group of four that you showed through Pompeii Friday, April 23. I’d like to thank you for your excellent tour — it was one of the highlights of our trip. I’d been to Pompeii three times previously and had just walked past things that you pointed out this time — things made sense now. You did an excellent job and we wish you well in the future.
It was no small thing to us that you were waiting for us as we got off the Circumvescuvio train that day.
A job very well done!

Gaetano,
I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour of Pompeii with you last April. It was raining that day and we barely noticed because you did such an excellent job bringing the ruins to life for us. I found out about you from a recommendation in one of Rick Steve’s books andI am so glad I did. You made Pompeii a highlight of our trip to Italy.
Thank you again!

Dear Gaetano,
I just wanted to send a quick thank you for the wonderful tour we had of Pompeii on July 6. I have now had the privilege of enjoying two guided tours with you and can say that each time it has been the highlight of our trip to Italy.  Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with such enthusiasm and for educating us not only on the physical excavation of Pompeii but on the details of the life that was lived by its citizens.  Your passion for sharing this remarkable treasure make the wonder of Pompeii truly come to life.  My husband and I agree that your tour is the best that we have ever received and should be the standard to which every treasured landmark should strive to achieve.
Grazie mille!

Ciao Gaetano,
I hope you are well. I enjoyed my time with you so much last year at Pompeii that I am inspired to make our chapter on the excavations better for our guidebook. My friend and co-author or the Rome guidebook Gene Openshaw will be at Pompeii checking the information and I would be thankful if you could spend three hours or so with him being his guide. Thanks a lot! I hope to see you when I am in Naples this April too.
Best wishes,
Rick Steves
