Our Walks Tour to Pompeii and Amalfi was the highlight of our stay in Rome. The standout were our guides who joined us for the day. Andy, who accompanied us from Rome, was wonderful company who had great knowledge of the areas visited. Our guide for the ruins of Pompeii, Enzo, was outstanding! His knowledge of Pompeii’s history and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite a big day, the tour is 100% worth it. I would highly recommend this experience to others. We would definitely book with Walks again.

The Pompeii guided tour was superb. The tour was conducted by a local guide who was formerly an archeologist. Her explanations were easy to understand, her english was very good and the audio headsets worked well. Caution: The tour description says it goes along the Amalfi coast. In our case it didn't, it stopped short, in Sorrento. Sorrento is a lovely place, though, just not Amalfi. Also, the bus had a lot to be desired - the air conditioning was inconsistent; being a sight seeing tour, visibility was unsatisfactory, especially for those in the rear seat (4 passengers of which I was one) who had no windows at all, and certain row windows were obscured somewhat by curtains in the pillars between windows.

Had an amazing time! Cosimo was our tour guide in Italy (Rome to Pompeii) and he did a fantastic job. Worth the time spent!

Pompeii was fantastic, we loved it. Cosmino our guide was amazing, he explained everything throughout the drive and trip and was very thorough. Ilaria, our archaeologist guide inside the ruins was very knowledgeable and had a personal touch. We loved learning from her. Sorrento was incredibly beautiful and a nice touch to the trip. We bought souvenirs and had a fantastic lunch in town. We were nervous about the long drive/trip. We made a stop along the way for coffee and bathroom breaks. The bus was a nice, clean, 20-seater bus with air conditioning. It was great. Definitely recommend.

Both guides were excellent. The guide on the bus was very helpful and didn’t get upset when my husband had some difficulty walking. The guide at Pompeii was particularly knowledgeable on the subject was personable and very professional. Overall it was a great experience.

Clear instructions and communication , before and during the trip. Informative talks throughout the journey. Safety conscious during walks away from the bus with extra photo op stops. The driver was cautious and we felt safe at all times while in bus. The bus was new and very clean. It had spaces for overhead bag storage and seat belts. Overall a very pleasant experience. Thanks to Cosimo👍🏻

My tour of Pompeii and Sorrento was absolutely unforgettable! Walking through ancient Pompeii felt like stepping back in time—the ruins, mosaics, and stories were mesmerizing. Then, Sorrento’s charm took over: cliffside views, lemon-scented streets, and the bluest sea I’ve ever seen. The food? Fresh, flavorful, and beyond delicious. The blend of history, beauty, and culture made it one of the best trips of my life. I can’t wait to go back someday!

We had a great time on this tour! The bus was very comfortable to ride in, and the tour of Pompeii with Brunella was so insightful and fascinating. Cosimo was a great guide, and the stop in Sorrento was beautiful. Would definitely book a tour with this company again!
