We had a wonderful experience on this tour with Hisam! He took the time to explain the history and interesting details of every stop in an engaging and informative way. Even with a larger group, he did an excellent job keeping everyone involved, interested, and entertained. His knowledge and storytelling really brought the history to life. Highly recommend this tour!

Pompeii and Positano in a day

This is a very long day but it allows you to see Pompeii and Positano and not worry about any of the driving! We had a great driver named Francesco and our guide on the bus was Kler! Kler was amazing and full of so much information! She did an awesome job😊

This trip to Tuscany was fabulous. Our guide Sara was wonderful and gave us tons of great info along the way. The long day was definitely worth it considering how many places we stopped, I would highly recommend this tour. Lunch and wine tasting being included was a nice touch!

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.

Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

Melinda_C, Oct 2026

Pompeii and Sorrento

Excellent experience. Might be difficult for people with mobility concerns. Pompeii has a lot of uneven surfaces with high curbs and very slippery in the rain. Our City Wonders tour guide was fantastic Mama (Erica) was full of lots of information. regarding the areas we were driving through. Francesico(driver) kept us safe the entire way. Our local guide Lilly at Pompeii was knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing the stories of Pompeii. Lemon cello tasting was good. Sorrento was nice. Unfortunately for us the day we went it rained for the entire trip. I would recommend.

Craig_A, Oct 2026

Flavio rocks!

Super well run tour, efficient but not rushed. Took needs into consideration but even if you didn’t need the bathroom at the service station, it didn’t hardly add anything to the day and you could buy delicious looking sandwiches, snacks, drinks, or dessert. The Pompeii guides were very knowledgeable and personable.

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!

Pam_W, Sept 2026

This tour was prompt....

This tour was prompt. After the tour you are free to continue to explore on your own. Our guide was originally from Georgia , so her English was fantastic. She was passionate, very educated, and funny. She really took the time to give you the history and the meaning behind what you were going to see. It was a group tour but she made it seem more like a personal experience. Totally recommend.

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.
