We enjoyed the tour so much. Nariman and Emanuele picked us up from our hotel lobby. Manuele drove and Nariman explained what we would be doing. We stopped for a moment and got coffee and pastries. We drove to Pompeii during which Nari told us all about what we were seeing. When we got to Pompeii, we met Anna Sofia who showed us Pompeii. Both Anna and Nariman were patient with me being a little slower walking in the heat. Very thorough instruction by both guides and Manuele was a very safe driver. Our lunch was amazing! We would do this same tour again in a heartbeat!

This was a wonderful tour to Pompeii and Naples from Rome. The drivers (we needed 2 vans due to the number of people in our group) met us at our apartment right on time and were amazing! Antoinette was an exceptional guide full of great information, very animated and just a lovely person. We stopped for a quick breakfast on the way, which was very needed since we left at 6:45 am. We also have a great guide in Pompeii who gave us a wonderful 2 hour tour. After the ruins, we went for lunch and wine tasting at a local winery (amazing!) and spent the afternoon in Naples. Seriously a great way to spent a day!! Highly recommend!

This is a great day trip from Rome! If you love history, Pompeii should definitely be on your list. There will be a separate guide at the archeological site to walk you around for about 1.5 hours. It is amazing how much of it has been preserved. Then you will stop for lunch at a really beautiful winery. The food is amazing, and the views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples are stunning. Next is Naples - be prepared for a very chaotic city. Wish the guide gave us a little more information on the city history, etc. The last scenic stop of the bay was great for photos! Overall, it was a great tour, and since it was a small group (ours was only 5 people), they gave a little more flexibility on what to do in Naples, plus coffee and pit stops both ways.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed this day trip and found Pompeii so fascinating it truly is an incredible place to visit.
