5.00What an amazing tour! So glad we did this rather than trying to figure things out on our own. Our guide, Anna Sorrento was brilliant, really captivating and made sure we saw all the most important bits then gave tips on what to see after the tour. It was really simple to find the tour guides at the beginning, you really can't miss the correct gate as it's right by the station and the tour operators were very helpful. Highly recommend taking this tour to get the best out of your visit
Worth the money

5.00Our guide Nicoletta was great! She is clearly very knowledgeable about the site and history. This was the only tour we booked while staying in Italy and it was totally worth it. If we had seen the site without having anyone to explain it to us, it would’ve been a completely different experience.
Wow!
