Unforgettable Ancient Rome & Volcano: Pompeii & Vesuvius Tour

Brilliant day trip full of history with Roberta as our tour guide! Super easy meeting and drop off in central locations. Roberta was a great tour guide offering loads of great information whilst on our journey to each location. Starting off at Pompeii we were put into another group with Mimi as our guide- he was hilarious! Such an informative and engaging tour of Pompeii. Vesuvius was another great experience with great views, small shops throughout the walk up offering souvenirs and drinks- even a small glass of Tears of Jesus wine (Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio).

I want to first say our guides were very nice and informative and this is nothing against them or their ability to conduct a tour. I had very high hopes for this experience and the Pompeii exhibit was very interesting however I highly recommend canceling if it is supposed to rain. We had umbrellas, ponchos and rain jackets and were absolutely soaked. Our clothes, shoes, etc. This tour is entirely outside and there is no cover from the rain. Trying to walk around with other tourists who are bumping umbrellas is very difficult and the puddles accumulate very quickly. The weather also canceled our visit to Mt. Vesuvius, but we did not know that until after we drove an hour up the mountain. We did get reimbursed within a few days and the tour guide was very apologetic. I recommend to all travelers to check the weather forecast before booking the tour.

Roberta was extremely knowledgeable and professional as our tour guide of Pompei. Her dedication to making sure we didn’t get lost was fantastic! Highly recommend.

Roberta was a great guide with fantastic knowledge and a clear passion for archeology- our driver was also very skilful as he carefully negotiated the endless hairpin bends … Make sure you take the walk to the top of the volcano - it’s not easy but you will be rewarded with amazing views of the bay and crater from the top

What a great tour guide Roberta with IAMME IA we experienced! We started on our way to Pompeii first as she explained the history of Pompeii and the active vulcano Mt. Vesuvius. Once there, she took us to many of the ruins of Pompeii explaining each area of how the people lived, who they were, and how they lived and how the town was destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius. Absolutely an unforgettable tour! Then on to the active Mt. Vesuvius and the history of it. Winding bus ride, but the Driver was excellent!! We felt very safe with him - I'm sorry I don't remember his name. Once there. they dropped us off to climb up to Mt. Vesuvius. We're in our late 60s and early 70s and made it within the time allotted. Hard walk with many stops but well worth the trip!

The only thing I would have changed is being allowed to browse around the official Pompeii shop for 10 mins before heading back to the restaurant.

Wonderful, informative, well paced tour from Roberta our tour guide who was excellent and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends.

Isabella was a terrific guide with so much knowledge. It was a long day but covered so much and a lovely lunch. The coach was on time and communication before the day was spot on

Roberta was the best guide. Her insights on the tour were exceptional. Very easy meeting spot. The pre arranged lunch was efficient and delicious. Highly recommend!

The tour is great but the group is too large to keep together, especially in a crowded area. Our guide, Isabella, did an awesome job waiting for everyone to catch up and to see various sites at Pompeii. We missed some sites on the itinerary because there were too many other groups in the area, but we saw others that weren’t scheduled. Isabella was excellent at explaining what we were seeing and adding depth to the discussion. I can’t really review the Vesuvius part of the tour as the weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t see anything. But we had the opportunity to walk up to the crater.
