This was an amazing day trip from Rome to Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, and a traditional Italian restaurant. Everything was very well organized, and the whole experience was absolutely worth it. Pompeii was fascinating, and having a guide made the visit much more interesting and informative. The pizza at the restaurant was delicious and was a perfect part of the day. The highlight, however, was definitely climbing Mount Vesuvius. The views were incredible, and it was an unforgettable experience. A special thank you to our guide, Marius, who was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. He made the trip enjoyable, explained everything clearly, and took good care of the group throughout the day. Overall, I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome. It is a long day, but you get to see and experience so much. Definitely one of the best experiences of our trip! 🇮🇹❤️
The tour with Roberto was exceptional! The entire experience was pleasant and he was very knowledgeable about Italian history, culture, and food. We would highly recommend this tour.
Tour guide Rob was great and made the whole experience great. Pompeii is an amazing place to visit you have to see it
The best experience, guide was super informative, pompeii was amazing, the lunch after was sooo tasty and making it to the top of versuvius was breathtaking
The tour was very smooth. Our driver, Daniel, did a great job navigating dangerous and narrow terrain. Our guide, Marius, was amazing. He was very nice, informative, and funny. Overall, it was a good trip!
Amazing tour with Pari and Antonio providing great service. Excellent knowledge and well paced and thoroughly enjoyable day.
Had a great day with Natascia as our guide. Long drive but worth the trip and a manageable day trip. Pompeii highlights your was great and pizza lunch was excellent too. Vesuvius climb was steep and gravelly so would recommend good shoes. My suggestion would be in summer months that the Vesuvius climb should be first, then pizza, then Vesuvius as you end up climbing Vesuvius in the hottest part of the day as it is which is quite brutal.
Above moderate level of fitness required to walk up Vesuvius. Wear good hiking shoes and be well hydrated
On my tour, Chiara was our friendly, knowledgeable guide and Luka expertly drove us safely on the mountain roads of Vesuvius and the streets in route to Pompeii. Finally I got to see the incredible, uncovered city of Pompeii, which was great for me because I loved learning about that city in school. And Vesuvius is a beautiful mountain. The appetizers and pizza we ate for lunch was delicious. This tour was worth every penny!
Absolutely brilliant day from begging to end. The pick up point was easy to find and well organized. From There our guide Chiara was wonderful very friendly and very knowledgeable. Our guide when we got to mount vesuvius was fantastic and she gave everyone so much information you could just tell how passionate about the mounting and the area she was. Then we went for lunch included which was way more then I thought we would get as it was all including in the price. Then we went to Pompeii and again we had another brilliant guide. It was a shame the weather was so hot 🥵 as 37/38 degrees was unbearable at times but there is nothing anyone can do about that. It didn’t really spoil our day as the day was brilliant. Would 💯 recommend City Wonders I will be booking more trips with them for sure.
