Susan_H, Oct 2026

Fabulous Tour Experience

Fabulous tour. Well-organized process to assign people to groups. Our guide was Maria Louisa. She provided a wealth of knowledge and spoke clear English. She engaged with the people in her group and clarified any concerns. We were prepped before going through the many check points. I would use City Wonders again for a city tour.

Laura_M, Oct 2026

Fantastic day trip to...

Fantastic day trip to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii! Both the climb with the volcanologist and the guided tour of Pompeii were brilliant experiences. A special mention must go to our guide, Anna, who was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kept us entertained throughout the day with fascinating facts and stories about Rome and Italy. She really added to the whole experience. Highly recommend!

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

William_C, Oct 2026

Pompeii was amazing Positano was beautiful!

Rob our tour guide made the trip!! Not only was he very knowledgeable about Pompeii and Positano, he also shared his knowledge on the history and culture of Italy and the different regions. His discussion on the foods of each region was especially interesting. The Pompeii tour guide was good, but we did experience some issues with the audio device at times. All in all it was a great tour.

Amalfi & Positano Day Trip from Rome with Coastal Cruise

Leslie_L, Oct 2026

Marius was wonderful!

Marius was our tour guide, he was awesome! Super kind, funny and reassured us multiple times nobody will get left behind! It was a tour from 7:30 am to 10pm. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side that day so our cruise was canceled and we were given a 25% discount but we still saw the almafi coast, positano, had a limoncello tasting at a factory along the way and saw Sorrento. Quick note if this happens to anyone as well, your tour guide does NOT control the weather! make sure to do your research and plan in advance. Marius did his absolute best to give us the best experience despite the unfortunate circumstances. Overall i’d do it again! it was so nice to have secure transportation and be able to explore other beautiful parts of italy.

Colosseum & Forum with Optional Arena or Underground Access

Georgia_G, Oct 2026

Excellent guide and tour

Our small group of 10 was expertly led by Manelo for Touriks. From clear directions about where to meet, to easy uncrowded access to the arena, to deeply knowledgeable and entertainingly presented information at every point, we couldn’t have asked more of the tour and Manelo.

Rome: Colosseum with Arena Floor, Forum and Palatine Guided Tour

Annie_L, Oct 2026

The opportunity and experience of a lifetime !

Be prepared for an experience of a lifetime from a guide with more information than most university professors. There are a few physical requirements for walking the entire tour, heat during the summer, uneven footing throughout and stairs plus loud crowd noise. These are minor inconveniences for the experience but should be considered. DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME, JUST DO IT ! If you are lucky enough to have Georgia as a guide it is a double bonus!

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

James_E, Sept 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

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.
