Rome Tours & Excursions

"We had a wonderful and very interesting time with Josh and George. George left us feeling very safe with his consistent driving skills and Josh provided knowledgeable, friendly and personable interaction throughout the whole trip. We found Pompeii interesting and amazing at the scale of the archeological site. Lunch on the beach was extraordinary and Amalfi coast was inspiring. "

"This trip was so fun and well worth it. It is the easiest way to get in Pompei and the coast while visiting Rome. I would recommend making a reservation from the bus if you’re wanting to eat at a sit down restaurant in Positano and you have a rough estimate if when you will arrive. Eat first and then take the rest of the time to shop or go to the beach. The time goes by fast, but you still get a feel for it and the drive there is beautiful and a little scary. The driver was excellent though and knows how to navigate the roads expertly. Pompei was also surreal to see and our tour guide there was very knowledgeable. Ilaria was pleasant and helpful throughout the trip. It’s a long day and tiring day but you get plenty of time to rest on the van. If you are interested in these destinations, spend the money and do the tour! No regret and definitely my favorite day from my weekend visiting Rome. "

Great tour with a perfect guide. It was awesome, can highly recommend to anyone, dont overthink it cause it covers all you need. Also at the end on the way out you can go by yourself to the Dome cause you exit on that side so everything is covered.

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.

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.

Very experienced guide. He did everything right. No more, no less. Very warm and positive. In a big crowd, he fought for the best positions, communicated with other guides when necessary, as well as with many guards in the museum. All for the purpose of our group. He made sure that we were always in the shade when we listened to him outside, and he made sure that we avoided the stairs, passing through the fenced corridors. For me, expectations are met, when you get what the agency offered you. I got what I paid for. This time maybe more than that.

Truly amazing how much history the museum holds. The Sistine chapel was breathtaking as well . Would recommend to anyone who likes to take their time and enjoy the art and history. The device provided gives a short summary of the rooms/art/sculpture you are viewing if you press the numbers. I would’ve preferred an earphones over the Walky-talky looking thing. But overall it dint affect my experience.

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

Great tour! It is a long day, with a lot of time spent on the bus but our guide Eriga used the journey to give us some great information about pompei, the various areas we passed and Italy in general. She also knew when to let people relax and sleep. We got a guided tour of pompei, that included ear pieces which was great. We then had lunch which you could get yourselves or join the group for a meal organised by the guide. Finally we did a hike to look at the crater of the volcano. The tour was a large group (full coach) with a mix of solo, couples, and families.

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.

Great experience! Radu was a great guide and very knowledgeable! Only sad part was we paid to tour the bottom part of the Colloseum and it was canceled w/o explanation. There were other groups down below, our family was bummed that we couldn't see that part but others were down there.

Took us around colosseum explained everything. The lower part was not accessible. Enough times for photos. Next stop was palatine hill and roman forum but once it ended we had only access to palantine hill and roman forum. If we wanted to go explore more of colossesum that was not possible as guided tour ends.

Guide was knowledgeable. Tour was well organised. Overall great experience as one gets to see a lot more than a 'normal' entry ticket. Just take note that there are strict time limits that the guide needs to adhere to and therefore time at each viewing point is limited.

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

This was a fantastic tour! The tour guide (Luanna, from Albania) was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the tour and happy to answer any questions. She started off by introducing herself and a little about her background before asking each member of the group (20 of us), which country we were from and little about us to get to know us. She then referred to each of us personally throughout which made the experience much more enjoyable. Luanna explained everything with memorable stories and allowed everyone to take pictures, allowing the group to take the time they needed to explore the surroundings and take in all the history. We paid around €35 each and it was worth every cent. The history of the Roman Forum was incredible and the Colosseum, at times, was sobering - to visualise all that happened in the arena and the underground tunnels, all those years ago. I highly recommend this tour, definitely worth doing at least once!

"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. "

Excellent comprehensive tour with Elena our very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was disappointing though to have the underground tour part of the Colosseum cancelled. This was our main reason for booking this tour. The group we were offered to join instead was meant to have a maximum of 20 people but there were 26.

Francesca was such a friendly, entertaining and knowledgable tour guide! I loved hearing about the history and imagining what the colosseum and forums would have been like thousands of years ago. I was very happy with the pace, there was plenty of time to look around and take pictures. I'd really recommend this tour if you want a deeper experience of these landmarks :)

Our guide was Lorenzo, very knowledgeable guide, took us almost 4 hours on his wonderful tour around archeology area, palatine hill and colosseum. This was perfect tour to meet and understand this part of Rome and get to know a lot about history. Highly recommended for visitors

Sonya was a great tour guide. We were surprised by the amount of knowledge she shared about the colosseum, forum and Palentine hill. The tour started at the lower subway station and ended on top of the palentine hill. The colosseum is a busy place and with the small group we were able to circle around and see photos and other documents that showed the area in its height.
