Comprehensive tour around the ancient city

Published on Jan, 2025

We got what we expected. The tour by a very knowledgeable guide Fabiano was excellent, though at first we underestimated him a little. Being an archaeologist himself Fabiano told us not only amusing facts about Pompeii, but also a brief history of the city, eruption and excavations. The tour was organized well enough, though we'd rather stay more time in the city instead of spending half an hour in the cameo showroom next to the entrance.

Welcome trip to Pompeii

Published on Dec, 2024

Wonderful experience exploring the ancient city of Pompeii with an Archeologist as a guide . The trip is well organised and the bus to Pompeii is smooth with a break in the middle of the journey for refreshments which breaks the journey up . It’s difficult to explore the entire stretch of Pompeii in 3 hours but we see the main highlights which is the icing on the cake . I enjoyed the trip . Thank you so much for the lovely experience .

This tour was a great way...

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was a great way to easily see Pompeii while on a visit to Rome. It was very easy to get to the bus pickup from the Termini area and the coach was very comfortable for the 3 hours there and back. Micaela and Juliana were our tour guides (bus tour/ruins) and they were both fantastic! Like many other reviewers mention, Pompeii is huge so don't expect to be able to see the entire archeological site with this tour but you will get the key highlights, learn a ton, and have a little time to explore on your own. Another thing to note, my father has some knee troubles and the ruins are, well, ruins. There are large stairs and uneven pathways you will be taking so keep that in mind and be prepared!
