Eduardo our Tour Leader was very personable and knowledgeable. During our train ride gave us a very informed overview of Italian history and Pompeii. We later went to Naples where he showed us various points of interest along with some free time shopping. I highly recommend when booking this tour to request Eduardo, you will not be disappointed. Thank You Ed and Renata Szymczak

Love it

Cory_A, Feb 2020
This was definitely one of my favorite places to go I Italy. Our tour guide was awesome and we had a great time. The only thing I would say is I wish we had more time to explore in Pompeii but other than that it was amazing.

Domenico was great!

We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He showed up on time, was kind, caring, personable, knowledgeable and showed us a lot of great places in napoli. Including an introduction to deep fried Mac and cheese and amazing €5.00 pizza. He provided a bunch of interesting facts and really tailored the tour to what the 6 of us wanted to see and even gave us time to shop for souvenirs and snacks/drinks. In the end, he offered to show us the castle by the Marina and accompanied us in the metro back to the train station. Overall a great tour. Unfortunately we didn’t feel we had enough time in Pompei but that just means we have to come back!

Amazing Pompeii,Naples and Gabriella

Nery_R, Nov 2018
Great tour to these two destinations via fast train. A short commute which is great. Pompeii amazing which we had more time however you can spend an entire day there and you won’t see it all since the city is large. Naples was fun, especially eating at the Antics d Michele for pizza. Gabriella our guide was fantastic, sweet young lady full of information about Pompeii and Naples. Thank you Gabriella for making our tour a blast!

We went around city of Napoli on...

We went around city of Napoli on foot, saw a lot of things, went through many small alleys (best way to explore the city is by foot I reckon). Pompeii is great. Our guide is Alessandro. There were only 4 of us in the tour, small and personalized - the other 2 were these very nice young Canadian couple

Really great tour! Our tour guide...

Kf S, May 2016
Really great tour! Our tour guide was fantastic, the Pompeii site is breathtaking and the tour of the old quarter of Naples was fun too. I also enjoyed riding the trains on this tour, the express train from Rome was comfortable and the views were amazing. The train from Naples was a local train so it was fun to see the local people as well. Alex was our tour guide and he made the entire day wonderful for us!
