“I think it was our favorite activity in Rome because of the amazing guide and the lack of crowds seen everywhere else. So much ancient history, the place is huge and ready to explore, definitely a gem not spoiled by hordes of tourists. Our guide Rob was very friendly, knowledgeable, and make sure we stayed comfortable walking around in a scorching 95 degree day. After the tour, we hopped on the train and went to the beach for a couple hours, definitely recommend!”

Travel from Rome to Pompeii by high-speed train for a guided ruins tour, Vesuvius wine tasting, and farm-to-table lunch.
“The trip all around was spectacular. Train was delayed, but guides did a good job of keeping us informed. It’s not their fault that the train is delayed. Guide was knowledgeable and personable. Loved every second of it. You could tell she was very passionate about the subject. Lunch and wine tasting was exceptional. I wish I had ordered an entire case of everything they served us to send home to America. The only thing that I regret is not being able to spend an entire week in Pompeii there is so much to see. Highly recommend this tour and experience. It was wonderful.Read more”

“Our guide was lovely and the pace was about right for our mixed age group. Because our morning train was delayed by 1 hour, we only had a very short time in Naples. We would have preferred some free time in Pompeii instead. One thing to be aware of is that the toilets at the entrance are 50c and cash only - but the attendant was able to give change! Overall a good day 😊”
