Pompeii from Rome with Optional Mt. Vesuvius & Pizza Lunch

Laurey_C, Sep 2026

Pompeii and Vesuvius

It was an amazing experience. Sarah escorted us on the bus the entire trip and she was knowledgeable in both history and Italian culture. Climbing to the Vesuvius crater was hard but soooo worth it. Pompeii ruins were fantastico. They are truly the window to history. Pizza lunch was amazing and the view overlooking the bay of Napoli while we ate was stunning.

If You’re Thinking About Booking This Day Trip, Just Do It!

If you’re in Rome and debating whether this day trip is worth it, just book it! I was initially on the fence because it’s a very long day, but I’m so glad I went. We departed Rome at 8:00 AM and didn’t return until around 10:30 PM, so definitely be prepared for a full-day experience. That said, it was wonderful to get out of Rome and see a completely different part of Italy, and I loved having City Wonders handle all of the transportation and logistics. Our guide, Patrizia, was amazing. She gave us the information we needed but also let us explore Positano and Sorrento on our own. She was organized, attentive and made sure no one was left behind. Our driver, Roberto, was excellent and navigated the winding roads like a pro! Both places were beautiful, with incredible scenery and great shops. I also loved the limoncello tasting. My biggest recommendation is to pack snacks and water. I got pretty hungry, and there weren’t many appetizing options at the rest stops. It’s a long day, but absolutely worth it. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Fantastic day - guide was super - perfect timing throughout. Really knowledgeable- would really recommend as a day out.. Only comment is for the Pompeii segment make sure you have water and possibly an umbrella to protect you against the sun! Well worth it though.

Meeting place was easy to find. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and used to be an archaeologist. Learned so much about the coliseum and ancient times. Unfortunately our tour stopped with the coliseum because the weather was too stormy to continue. Still recommend

Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum Live Guide or Audio App

James_E, Sep 2026

If you like Roman...

If you like Roman history, you can't get much more Roman than this. The audioguide provided quite a lot of good context for the stuff you see across the three sites that you wouldn't normally get from the placards on site, just be sure to bring your headphones/earbuds of course. Be prepared to do a lot of hiking across the Palatine Hill and bring a water bottle, but overall good value for money I'd say

Colosseum & Forum with Optional Arena or Underground Access

Allen_W, Sep 2026

Colleseum Ground Floor

It was hot in Italy the first week of September..90 degrees plus..Not so Humid though. We trekked along looking at the Forum and Palentine Hill. Our guide showed us where Ceasar was cremated. Colloseum was interesting..Got a few pictures..Wish we could have got tickets to the underground, but was sold out. I almost got pickpocketed from Colloso Metro to Termini on the way back. I felt the guy trying to get in my front pocket while his accomplices were distracting my wife with questions...Be Careful.

Must see tour!

We had a wonderful Colosseum tour! Our tour guide was fantastic and provided so much interesting history and information throughout the experience.

Best tour guide!

Christine is undoubtedly the BEST tour guide in Rome. We were so fortunate to have her lead us through the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. She was engaging, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend requesting her specifically for your tour!

Tivoli Full Day Trip from Rome: Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este

Virginia_T, Aug 2026

Villa d’Este is awe-inspiring

Fantastic insight into Roman society 2000 years ago at Hadrian’s Villa (palace) and 1800’s at Villa d'Este, which has been on my bucket list since I learned about Italian landscape design at university. Totally worth the visit despite the punishing heat in August. The hydrological engineering & use of what starts as a tiny water source into multiple fountains & sculptures without use of pumps or electricity is awe-inspiring & spectacular. Definitely a highlight of my trip.

From Rome to Tuscany: Discover Florence and Pisa in One Day

Caitlin_D, Jul 2026

Just Amazing

Silvia was the name of the tour guide and she was wonderful ., She was very kind and attentive and she made sure anyone who needed a taxi got one when we arrived in florence to the restaurants location and she did a good head count before leaving to the next stop each time we would board again the bus and her spanish was very good because she studied in Spain and then lived there from age 18-27 she had told me herself this when i spoke with her one on one while walking towards the location of the historic sites and her english was very clear as well . The tour was impeccable and an experience i will hopefully always remember . I would definitely use this tour company again if i am able to return to rome in the future .
