Pompeii (/pɒmˈpeɪi/) was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area (e.g. at Boscoreale, Stabiae), was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Volcanic ash typically buried inhabitants who did not escape the lethal effects of the earthquake and eruption. Largely preserved under the ash, the excavated city offers a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried[1] and providing an extraordinarily detailed insight into the everyday life of its inhabitants. Organic remains, including wooden objects and human bodies, were entombed in the ash and decayed away, making natural molds; and excavators used these to make plaster casts, unique and often gruesome figures from the last minutes of the catastrophe. The numerous graffiti carved on the walls and inside rooms provides a wealth of examples of the largely lost Vulgar Latin spoken colloquially, contrasting with the formal language of the classical writers. Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.[2] Excavations recommenced in several unexplored areas of the city, and in 2018 new discoveries were reported

Andy our driver was excellent! He was very professional and very knowledgeable and gave a great restaurant recommendation in Pompeii. He was very flexible and picked us up at our hotel promptly. We really enjoyed our trip. Sebastian the tour guide was a Pompeii native, and was great in explaining all of the artifacts and we had a great time visiting the ruins. I highly recommend this trip!
Thanks for your wonderful review!
Clear and easy communication, responsive, excellent service!
Thanks for your wonderful review. Andrea
We are so thankful we booked this. Family of six (three kids and one 78 year old). The car was roomy and comfortable. Our driver, Daniel, was a pleasure. As talkative as we wanted him to be and at the end of the day when everyone was tired he just let us sleep. But so glad to get his knowledge and opinions on our drive up. We had a lovely guide at Pompeii and though we picked a free museum day by accident (think insane crowds) he somehow avoided them all and showed us everything we could want to see. A wonderful trip all around. Easy five stars!
Perfect for family of 5 trip from Rome to Pompeii. Daniele is an excellent diver. Very professional and personable and safe on the roads. We will use this company's service again.
We had a spectacular day on our trip from Rome to Pompeii. Our driver, Andy was very personable and provided wonderful service on the road to the Naples area. he even made a stop part of the way to the ruins because he said that the service area provided the best espresso between Rome and Naples. Directed us to an authentic Naples pizza for lunch.. arch Erica was most knowledgeable of the ruins and provided over 2 1/2 hours of nonstop archaeological knowledge that made our trip memorable. Book this trip and you will not be sorry.
Daniele was our driver and was fantastic. He drove us from Rome and back while helping us find a wonderful place for lunch after our Pompeii tour. Will definitely be using this company again and requesting him for our next visit. Thank you!
Vincenzo and Carmine provided us with an excellent tour of Pompeii and Sorrento. They were prompt, courteous, professional, informative and quite enjoyable. Vincenzo and Carmine were considerate of our time and navigated us through the sites while avoiding the crowds. We also used Aim Limo Tours to provide transportation from FCO Airport to Rome and from Rome to the Port of Civitavecchia. Transportation was quite easy to arrange and the drivers were prompt and courteous. We will definitely use Aim Limo in the future.
Daniele was excellent!!! The trip was very comfortable and informative on the way there and back! He was very easygoing and helpful!! We loved the whole day
The day trip to Pompeii was above and beyond our expectations. Our driver was Alessandro. He was very prompt and professional meeting all of the time schedules for the trip. He provided history and extensive knowledge about the area during the trip and was a pleasure to talk to. On our way back to Rome, Alessandro provided an additional excursion tailored to our interests. The trip was memorable and everyone had an excellent time! We have already recommended the company, and Alessandro, to other travelers headed to Rome!
Excellent service from our limo company to Pompeii and we were able to book a local guide in pompeiiWe were a family of 5 persons and our the small van service worked well for us.
