It is quite the day. Pompeii is very interesting and the guides try to not run into each other too much. Vesuvio is a uphill walk that is doable, but in the given time a challenge for not so fit people. But worth the hike! We had a great guide that made it all entertaining and interesting. I am glad I went.

Well well it is highly recommended to hire a guide as this is one of the magnificent and as we know, it is one of the wonders of the world and thus if you want to the deepest history and hidden facts about the colosseum then you should get this tour. We were fascinated by the structure, history and really enjoyed the tour.

It was great value for money. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to communicate the history vividly and enthusiastically so you could not help to be enthralled. I struggle with an issue in my back and neurological issues, the guide was patient and took that into account. Great value for money, great guide, would highly recommend!

The tour was great. Luana (not sure if I heard that correctly but she also spoke French and German) was an amazing guide. The history she gave in each sites and the stories/myths about Ancient Rome were so fascinating. It was just the right amount of time to explore the sites.

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.

"The seacoast and Positano is beautiful; the tour vans stop on the way down once for snacks and restroom; and then once along the seacoast for tourists to take pictures. The guide was helpful and very nice, and knowledgable. We spent 2 hours in Positano and went there first. It is a long ride (3.5 hours) but it was worthwhile. The tour of Pompeii was very good, more than I expected. The main con is the vehicle used; the van is air conditioned but it is the size of the utility vans that families are having built out for short vacations. Our van was not crowded but many left seats empty next to themselves and when we got on the only seats left together were at the back of the van, and while those in front of us reclined we could not. While this is beyond the control of the company running the tour, the roads are very bumpy and the driver did not slow down so it was very uncomfortable in that sense as well. "

We had a great time seeing the colosseum. Our guide Lucia was great! We went on a Sunday. Keep in mind the other museums are closed on Sundays so this is the busiest day for the colosseum. If your going on Sunday you will not see much without a guide, it is way too packed.

It was great trip to coliseum. Our guide was good and seemed to be informative about the history. We were able to check out Coliseum, form and Palatine Hill area and got lots of historic information and saw all the historic buildings in person. Entrance to Coliseum was extremely easy with our guide. Highly recommended.

We opted to upgrade to the audio guide and we would highly recommend that. You can do that once you’re there. The museum has great information and take a lot of time. The Sistine Chapel was off the charts! No pictures allowed in there and also be aware of the dress code. It’s a holy place and silence is a must. The Tourist station you check in at is a pink house opposite side of the museum.

Our guide, Frederico, was great. Very knowledgeable & despite having done the tour numerous times was still very enthusiastic about the Vatican & Sistine Chapel. We were in a small group of 9 so it was easy to follow the guide. The earpiece we each used enabled us to hear everything Frederico said. The only downside (& this is something out of the control of the tour co.) was the crowds, but apparently we were there in a quiet day. I would hate to be there when it’s busy!

We signed up on the day of the tour and did not know what to expect. Marcius was amazing. He was better than the private professional guides we had earlier on our trip. He brought such an engaging energy that drew you in with his vivid descriptions of how life was 2000 years ago. We highly recommend the tour and Marcius. Grazie!

Thoroughly enjoyable tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Tour guide was knowledgeable but struggled to answer any questions which were additional to her tour information. Thank God for Google. Roman forum was lovely. Just a shame that once the tour was finished and we were left to explore the Roman Forum by ourselves, the place was closing. So we had to exit with loads still to see. Never the less I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and well worth the ticket price.

Our tour guide, Jessica from Crown Tours, was awesome and such a great tour guide. We got a good amount of history without being too much and she showed us a lot of great before and afters of the colosseum. She told us lots of fun facts about the colosseum and was very nice and funny.

There are not enough words to describe the amazing day I had on this full day, jam packed tour. My tour guide Claudio was excellent and made the day enjoyable with his love and knowledge of all things Italy. This tour exceeded my recommendations and was exactly as described. It was a long day with an approx. 2-hour drive from Rome to Pompeii but so worth it. Claudio used the driving time to educate me on Italy. The Neapolitan pizza was great and came with plenty of food. Shout out to our skillful and great driver, Gianluca. Can't wait to go back to Italy and book another tour.

Amazing experience, it just doesn’t hit you until you actually walk those streets, Pompeii is so powerful and sad. The trek was great but very hot, wear very comfortable shoes as the ground is uneven, I wouldn’t wear sandals. They have sticks to help walk up with, but don’t really Need them. Barbara was our guide and was brilliant, very informative, funny and friendly. The best guide I have ever had. Our driver Antonio was an super driver, getting us easily up those high and tight corners to Vesuvius. Overall recommend this trip highly, so glad we got to do it, despite the burning heat. Get an umbrella for sun block before you go, makes a lot of difference

Fantastic guide, Scott, who was very knowledgeable and excited to share it which made for a pleasurable tour. Seeing the underground was a treat as well as the second level. The tour was lengthy but it was at a nice pace and the guide took breaks and made sure we had water. We highly recommend this tour.

"The trip was very well organized, with stops on the way for a break, and to view the bay of Naples, the surrounding islands and Mt. Vesuvius. The guide in Pompeii was excellent, and he provided important information. I would have preferred to be 20 min. longer in the excavations, rather than in the Cameo shop. "

Everything was so gorgeous. You had time to look at everything of interest without being urged to not dawdle too long. There was a café in the center square, where you could relax. Elevators for the physically impaired and restrooms at every corner. The only gripe were the badly numbered exhibit pieces. It was often quite difficult to locate the numbers to listen to the audio guide. Only way to find the missing numbers was to put in random ones from the group of numbers you were looking at and going through them until you found the right one.

Claudia was the best and Cipriano was awesome. We were a group of 5 and got lost and never got to the meeting point. They were like soldiers “no men left behind” Everyone graciously waited while Cipriano went outside and found us. Once inside the Vatican, Claudia was a book of knowledge and graciously shared it with us. Thanks to both of you and your touring company, we had an excellent experience.

The colosseum is something amazing to see. So rich in history and a definite must if you’re in Rome. Overall, our guide was good and very knowledgeable as he used to be an archeologist working on the site, however , he did speak a bit too fast and our ear pieces kept getting interference with other guides. Aside from that, an awesome activity for sure.

It was a good tour, but it's really not just a Colloseum tour. Was more like an hour on Palatine Hill, an hour at the Forum and 30 minutes at the Colloseum - partly due to issues with security for one of the group. We did end in the Colosseum though and could stay as long as we wanted afterwards. Having done Pompeii the week before with an archaeologist guide, we had a good understanding of Roman times which was useful. Being in Rome itself is overwhelming so it's nice to just follow a guide a round and look at a few bits and get some chat. No idea how much queue time we saved by using the group fast track - groups enter at a different gate than non-groups and we never saw the queue on the other side. It was all efficient and quick for the tours though - but don't bring a scooter for your kid as it won't get in!
