Rome Tours & Excursions

"Tour felt extremely VIP in its organization and execution. Or maybe I just lucked out with Covid conditions? In any case, my tour ran like clockwork with only two other attendees getting what was ideally VIP treatment with a driver; a driver trainee; and a host/tour guide for our transportation in a small private bus. Upon arrival at Pompeii, our personal tour guide, Hector made sure we made the most of our time with a very detailed, customized, and interactive tour that was both extremely informative and entertaining. Don’t let his age and footwear deceive you, Hector is both sharp and fast. As for the Amalfi Coast, the town was extremely beautiful. However, given the time, distance, and stressful conditions (one lane driving w/tons of cutbacks) made this excursion far less enjoyable. It’s already 2 hours from Rome to Pompeii but to add another hour drive to Amalfi and 3 hours to get from Amalfi back to Rome, definitely makes this portion far less enjoyable. "

So much to see. In an odd way we were glad we went during Covid as in 'normal times' we suspect so many Rome sights would be too busy to gain the best benefit of a visit. This was definitely one of those. It was still busy and at times quite large groups of people were very close, although all were wearing masks. Having said that it was an amazing place to visit.

The guide, Emiliano, was outstanding. He was friendly, funny and really informative. Could not ask for better. The tour of Pompeii was too rushed and we missed out on a lot and not given sufficient time for photos. The bus driver was amazing. Just wish we had better weather on the mountain.

"Great day! Bus was waiting at pick up point and was nice and clean. The guide spoke good English just took a bit to get used to her accent/pronounsiations. The stop halfway was really nice for a coffee. You need to pay at the till for what you want then take your receipt to the counter to order. The restaurant we stopped for lunch was just outside the ruins of Pompeii. We had a choice of pizza a drink and ice-cream which were all very good as we were hungry. Next onto the tour of Pompeii our guide for this was very passionate and very knowledgeable. It was a very hot day but she kept us interested and engaged. We had some free time at the end to visit the museum which was quite sad. Then we headed back to Rome with a toilet stop at the same place as before. The time seemed to go fast and soon we were back in Rome. I would highly recommend this tour 100% "

Ales was informative and knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about Roman history, and the restoration and preservation of the areas that we visited. It’s a lot of history to cover in 3 hours but he gave us a great overview and also gave everyone in the group plenty of time to stop and take photographs.

"We enjoyed our trip to Pompeii very much. Our two guides were amazing as well as our driver. Lunch was good and it was nice to see how cameos are made. "

Very easy to locate our meeting spot and everyone was very helpful. The line to purchase tickets was extremely long and with the heatwave going through Rome in July it was definitely worth every penny to purchase the Skip-the-Line Tickets. We would not hesitate to purchase them again, even without a huge line and heat. Very organized and easy to get through with the freedom of walking the Chapel and Museums at your own leisure.

Simply brilliant.... We were a little worried about the amount of time traveling but we need not have been. The whole day was a fabulous experience, Pompeii is something I had only ever heard about at school, the scale was breathtaking. Never realised how big it was. The trip to Vesuvius.....another level. The walk to the top whilst not for the faint hearted was well worth the effort. Glad to say we both made it and the views were incredible. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Our tour guide Giuliano and driver Gianluca were superb. They were very attentive and professional. They made the day long excursion a fun and informative one. We had a tour of Pompeii with 6 people with Sasa (sp?) who’s knowledge was second to none. He made sure to keep us in the shade while talking. Naples was great. We had lunch at Antonio & Antonio with a beautiful view of the Gulf of Naples. We did a beautiful walk of Naples and got a good feel for the city and it’s history.

"This tour was the best one we did. Pompeii was so amazing to see in person. Our guide Carlo was very knowledgeable and very nice. Deanna was also great, but we thought she needed a microphone when we were in the van it was hard for the people in the back to hear her. Our driver got us there fast and they were very accommodating. We would do this tour again. Just amazing things to see! "

We had a wonderful tour around the Coliseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum on Friday 30/9/22 with Dennis. Dennis was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic & passionate about the history of the Romans. It truly was one of the best tours myself & husband have had. We would both definitely recommend! 5 stars

Elizabeth was an excellent guide. The tour was informative and went at a good pace. We were on holiday with our 10 year old son who enjoyed it too and didn't get bored. Having a small group meant we were all able to keep together and not waiting for people to catch up.

The tour start point was easy to find and the overall check in process was easy. Guide was very knowledgeable and great at checking in on the group to make sure we stayed together at all times. The Vatican & Sistine Chapel is a must do when in Rome so overall worth the time and money.

I didn't realise I had booked a tour of the Vatican Gardens and arrived 2 minutes late. I must say the girls at the ticket desk were fantastic. They ran me up through the museum to get to the bus in no time. I felt like a super VIP. The gardens are spectacular and the museum is beautiful. I spent a very happy 5 hours total wondering around this wonderful museum.

We had Louana (not sure if I've spelt that right). She was lovely and had a good sense of humour. The tour was great - the highlight of my trip to Rome (though the night tour the previous day was fab, too). Lou gave us lots of good info and the handy in-ear earphone was useful because you could hear her clearly and turn her up or down! Fascinating tour - we really enjoyed it. There was a lot of walking, so wear flat comfies!

Very informative visit with an excellent guide! Veronica was very enthusiastic, pleasant and well informed. We were almost one hour late and the company were very nice and accommodated us into another tour. There was no stress or hassle as they stayed on the phone with me to tell me where to meet them. Bravissimo!

Fantastic, friendly and knowledgable tour guide called Laura Antonucc! She was engaging, entertaining yet highly informative and captivating. We got through security swiftly and missed the queues. They meet you at bottom of the Arc de Constantine. Would highly recommend!

We did the dome climb tour with Massimo as our guide, if you get Massimo too, you'll be sure to have an amazing tour! He was warm welcoming and very entertaining! And we learnt lots along the way too! There was a fair bit of queuing to get into St Peter's Badillica, but the views from the top of the dome (and inside the church) were definitely worth the wait. The Sistine Chapel is a must see too! Thank you Massimo for a fun and fascinating visit!

Our guide Magna very, knowledgeable, helpful & Spoke clear English. We had great access and support from guide Nick. To everyone booking trip take ID, including kids. Fantastic History & legendary sights With Memory making photo opportunities. Highly recommend. Thank you Maria

"Wonderful! Small tour is the way to go!! Andrea was a wonderful host/guide. Nicholas an awesome driver!!! Pompei was great and Positano mesmerizing!! Please make this tour an hour extra in Positano!! By the time you eat a beautiful lunch you have to leave. "

Such a great tour! Everything was well organized and our guide did a fantastic job of keeping track of everyone and setting expectations. It was raining incredibly hard when we arrived at Pompeii however our local guide did a fine job of navigating the group around puddles and kept a good pace for the tour despite the bad weather. Positano was fabulous and I have to applaud the bus driver for navigating those tricky roads. Such a fun experience- would recommend.

Eni was great today! Such a sweet and informative tour guide. He had so much history to share with us, it was fascinating. I especially loved going up to the Roman Forum and getting beautiful views of the Colloseum from the hill. It‘s a lot of walking and 3 hours so make sure you bring water and good shoes! It wasn’t too much though. Only complaint is that I would of liked more free time at the Colloseum to explore and take photos. Other then that, all round great tour guide and experience. Thank you!

Amazing tour!! Our tour guide, Magda was excellent!! She was very knowledgeable and the way she explained everything truly brought us back to the Roman times. There’s so much history it can be overwhelming, but Magda knew how to hit all the major points and gave us a in-depth explanation which made learning about the Colosseum very fascinating. We were a group of 10 and it was the perfect size for this tour.

Great tour and great guide Alessandro, total recommend. I am not usually a-guided-tour-person, I prefer to wonder around and explore by myself at my own pace. But I am very glad I took this tour, because otherwise I would miss a lot and wouldn't know which way to go, where to look and what exactly I am looking at. Being able to hear the stories and context behind the monuments, gave this visit another dimension. I've learned a lot and really enjoyed.
