5.00My 13 year old daughter and I absolutely loved this trip! It was so interesting and informative, The guide was just fantastic - apart from the fact that she could speak five different languages, including fluent English, she was also really witty and engaging, making the tour so much fun and, at the same time, educational. Pompei itself was just mind blowing. Would highly recommend.

5.00The Pompeii tour was the most informative part of our 10 day trip to Rome. Our guide was amazing, and shared a lot of facts that we were not aware of. It rained a bit, but not enough to impact our experience.
