It has been a phantastic experience not only from historical and landscape point of view but also due to the structure of the tour itself from a human and knowledge side delivered by Joh
n Paul and the guide Brunella as well as from the good driving of mini van.

There’s no better way to visit Pompeii than with this tour. Everything ran so smoothly (when to stop for breaks, when to keep the bus quiet for people to nap, etc). The driver (Pietro) and tour guide (Cosimo) were the best!! We had another tour guide specifically for Pompeii (Vitali) who was outstanding! This experience made my trip! I couldn’t be happier that I made the decision to book this tour. Worth every penny!

Fabulous day! Great communication throughout the booking, easy to find meeting spot, clean, comfortable and safe transportation. Our guide Cosimo was a terrific host and quickly got us up to speed on local culture and the days events. He was professional, informative and provided great recommendations and direction to maximize our time in Sorrento. Pompeii was epic and our guide Vitale matched the experience. This tour was worth every minute!

Aurelio A. was a great communicator and guide. He led us straight to the capable guide at Pompei. It was bigger than I thought and very interesting.<br /><br />Sorrento was on your own to shop and/or eat. I loved the store Mirella run by a nice family for lemon themed souvenirs. Also the lemon sorbet inside a real lemon was great! I got mine at St. Antonio bar. There is a kiosk shaped restaurant at the start of the town that looked good. Best view restaurant was terraza delle sirena

Can I bring a bag with me into Pompeii?
Small bags and purses are allowed inside Pompeii.
Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
No. Unfortunately, due to site restrictions we cannot accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. Guests should be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity, including standing for extended periods and climbing stairs, which may not be suitable for travelers with certain health conditions or mobility limitations.
Is Pompeii accessible to people in wheelchairs?
The streets of Pompeii have never been repaved or smoothed over so much of the city is nearly impossible to navigate for those with mobility impairments. If you use a wheelchair there is a special route for you, so please contact our customer service department for details.
What if the weather is bad (rain, snow, hail, etc.) on the day of my tour?
Our tours run rain or shine so please dress for the elements. We also ask you to please remember hats and sunscreen if you are taking this tour in the summer as it might be very hot.
How long is the tour?
Roughly 13 hours, with an early morning departure from Rome and a return in time for dinner.
Can I use this tour as a transfer to the Amalfi Coast?
Unfortunately our transport vans do not have enough space to accommodate luggage so it's not possible to use this tour as a transfer to towns on the Amalfi Coast from Rome.
Do I need to bring my ID for my Pompeii tour?
Yes! The full names of all participants must be provided at the time of booking and match the names on their ID/passport. Name changes are not permitted. All guests (including children) must bring a government-issued ID/passport on the day of their tour. Failure to bring an ID may result in security staff denying entrance to the monument.
Which town on the Amalfi Coast will I visit?
Most of the year, you'll visit Positano. In the low season (November through late March), most of the businesses in Positano town close, making the town rather uneventful to visit. During this time, we will visit Sorrento instead, where you'll have plenty of options for lunch and shopping.
Is lunch included?
No. Your guide will give you a few great recommendations for lunch spots and give you plenty of time, but where and what you eat is up to you.
