“really interesting. loved every minute! we found the audio abit confusing to use at first. sometimes didn't seem to tally with what we were looking at. the petrified bodies were at the furthest part of the site. would have been nice to have description boards at each building. but overall definitely worth a visit”

“We were fortunate to travel to Pompei from Rome on Trenitalia high speed train direct with no stops. This train is not a regular line so this was a bonus. Our archeological guide was Vincenzo and he was wonderful. Vincenzo was so knowledgable about the region and the history, as you would expect, and was very humorous as well! His humor really made the tour very enjoyable. We would highly recommend Vincenzo.”

“Excellent. We had Astrid who is amazing. It was the Italian tour! (Couldn't get the English tour) With 9 English and Americans, 2 Malaysians, 2 Spanish and 3 Italians. Astrid made it work for everyone. She's lovely and inclusive. Made actors out of some of us to "imagine" the times. Very knowledgeable. Very entertaining. And the Colosseum. Wow! Went there 30 years ago, before it was developed and just free to wander around. I was impressed then. Certainly more impressed now with what they've done and having such a knowledgeable guide.”

Review of the Rome to Pompeii day trip, with guided ruins, lunch, coach travel, Naples traffic, and practical advice before booking.

“Great, knowledgeable guide, good lunch and amazing Pompeii. The only reason I have taken 2 stars off is the added tour of Naples. They just drove the bus through Naples without stopping anywhere which was a shame. Instead, they stopped at an useless factory where expensive ornaments are made out of seashells. Also it is better to sit on the right hand side of the bus to enjoy better views of Naples. Previously, we have taken a viator trip in UK to Stonehenge and Bath and liked it a lot. Alternatively, one can take a direct train from Rome to Naples and another train from Naples to Pompeii. We did…”
