“My partner and I went on this trip yesterday. We had Laura as our guide and we cannot express enough how fantastic she was. The details on different things she gave on the trip down to Pompeii, as well as throughout was very informative with little bits of humour! Very clear directions on meeting points and timings. Our driver Gianni is a pro. He navigated some pretty tight looking spots with ease. Once at Pompeii we met with our guide for the site - Lilia. Again, information was amazing, really knew what she was talking about. Limoncello tasting was brilliant. On our way back, we got stuck in standstill traffic…”

“I researched Pompei way back in high school over 50 years ago. It was fascinating then and more so now: seeing homes, decor, roads, waste management, restaurants, cart wheel damage to the streets, cats wandering freely begging for a scratch or pat, artisan water available by tap at one location, and picture vantage points...I still love post cards - unless I reverse the lens and put myself in the picture. NO WHEELCHAIRS AT ALL...be prepared to sit while companions do the walking at Pompei. The museum held many more wonders...jewelry, an entombed family, a dog...so, so sad, yet beauty of their last moments...kudos to the man who discovered a way…”

“A great day out from Rome. Easy to get to the pick up spot and then everything was taken care of. Perhaps we hadn't read the listing well enough but we didn't realise how much was included. The bus tour of Naples was great, and the stop for lunch was exactly what we needed, especially with two kids in tow. Then the tour of Pompeii itself, with a supremely knowledgeable guide. He packed in all the key features, and had kept up to date with all the latest research at the site too. The trip back was easy in the coach and it left us enough time to enjoy the…”

“Wonderful time, lovely weather and amazing views. In planning our trip to Italy, we learned the coast is somewhat closed during the winter months, so having a day trip from Rome was our way of still getting a taste of it. Viviana our guide and Francisco our driver took such good care of us throughout the trip. We learned a lot about the region, got a taste of some of their unique dishes in Sorrento and soaked in the sun on the volcanic beachfront in Positano, a welcome respite from the rainy days we were having in Rome. Highly recommend!”

“The French and English groups were on the same bus, so the guide repeated the same things in both languages. There wasn't enough time for Sorrento and Pompeii. Especially for Pompeii. Pompeii is quite big and I think we saw very little there. This trip should last at least a couple of hours longer. It's a little too obvious that they don't really care whether you have a good experience or not. They just do their job and and overall it was OK.”

And I can't say enough about our Walks tour guide, Roberta. She was fantastic, knowledgable, and genuinely fun to be around. She even went out of her way to help me figure out how to buy a train ticket back to my hotel after we returned to Rome. She really made the day enjoyable!
