Your adventure begins in central Rome, where you'll meet your tour leader and board a private, air-conditioned bus. As you settle in for the scenic drive, sit back and relax—your guide and driver will handle all the details as you journey toward the ruins of Pompeii.

This company lies…. Promises the tour would be the same as booked NOT

1.00This company lies. I booked Positano, Almafi coast and Pompeii. One month before our tour, they emailed and asked if I would like to upgrade and also include Sorrento ( first lie ). It was instead of Postiano… NOT as well as. NOT an upgrade. My Replay was NO Thank you, I was excited to take my family to Positano and was the reason I booked this tour. They replied “no problem, your booking will remain the same”. We got on the bus and went to Pompeii and then the tour guide said we will be in Sorrento in an hour. I was devastated… I would have cancelled this trip and booked elsewhere… it was not what I wanted nor booked. When I asked for 1/2 of my money back they refused. Rather arrogant and rudely. I am angry because I would have cancelled and they took that decision away from me, by lying and saying it would be the same as I booked. DO NOT TRUST them .. Buyer beware!

5.00This was one of our favorite tours out of all the things we did during our time in Rome. Pompeii was our favorite and the guide we had was so knowledgeable. Definitely great to have an archeologist share their knowledge. We like Sorento but would have like to have more time there.

1.00My flight was cancelled from Amsterdam to Rome due to the weather, and it was obviously less than the 24 hours cancellation period, ALSO, the tour was booked less than 24 hours before the time of the tour. I was still denied a refund for the tour.

5.00It’s a great day to get some information about the past about what the people of Pompeii have gone thru due to the eruption of the volcano.
