Fantastic tour. Well paced. Transportation was timed well and didn’t feel rushed. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and really made Pompeii come alive. Lunch was good and the wine was excellent. Would do this again.

very well organized, meeting spot was easy to find and access. Good transitions with train and bus. No confusion! Your guides were not just informative but engaging. Fascinating site. The winery and lunch were a cherry on top. Lovely winery, tasty lunch and nice break after the walking tour of Pompeii

This was a great, well organized tour. We met our guide Fabriccio at the train station in Rome and guided us to the proper train and escorted us to our tour van. The group was about 12 in our van and another 12 who traveled to Pompeii in a separate van. Very comfortable. Our guide in Pompeii was wonderful. She was informative and passionate about the history. The vineyard lunch was nice and wine was free flowing. Lovely grounds. The trip back from Naples was just as well organized as the train there. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour when short on time

Isabel_C, Sep 2026
Despite the fact the there was about 60 tourists everything went very smoothly. Love it! Knowledgeable Tour guides.

Pompeii was amazing

Jim_C, Sep 2026
Antonio did a fantastic job putting everything that happened into sections for everyone to understand. Kudos to him for doing that. The winery was spectacular.

Great way to tour Pompei if you are staying in Rome.

Mike_M, Sep 2026
Tour was exactly as described and very enjoyable. The winery lunch was a meat platter and some pasta. Light lunch but very good. Nice setting. Gave you (4) wines to try then you had the opportunity to purchase to ship home. Bring a hat or umbrella for shade if it a sunny day.

Tour of Pompeii

Donald_B, Sep 2026
It is a lot of walking on uneven terrain, but so worth it. We were doubly lucky as our tour guide also works as an archiologist at the ruins. He was SO knowledgeable.

Amazing historical walk thru another time in history.

Janet_A, Sep 2026
This is a fascinating tour. So much information given about this tragic event in history. You will need sturdy comfortable shoes and a sun hat along with your water bottle. Be prepared for large rock roads to walk on and step over, for it to be hot enough to bake you in the sun, and be amazed at what has been excavated so far. Our tour was exceptional. Laura and Ida were super tour guides.

A true time capsule

James_C, Sep 2026
It’s a long hot day and worth every minute of it. If you have any interest at all in the history of western civilization, you will be fascinated by this absolute time capsule of ancient Roman life.

Would go again!

Justice_R, Sep 2026
We had an amazing time visiting! Our tour guide was Chiara who was AMAZING! Luca was also great and so helpful for navigating our group!the winery was beyond amazing!

Horrible communication from the operator

Jeffrey_R, Sep 2026
The company that operated the tour sent an email regarding meeting at the train station. It said the start time was 09:15. Then farther down the page it said to meet 30 minutes before the departure time. It never said that the departure time was 09:15. They should’ve put the exact meeting time so there would be no confusion. The guide supposedly called and messaged but when I tried to answer the call they hung up. We called and emailed the company to no avail. We requested a refund but were told there was no refund after 72 hours prior to the tour. Overall this was a terrible waste of our time and money and I will never use you or them again!

Spectacular day at Pompeii.

Susan_M, Sep 2026
It is excellent- it was very well organized. Our guide Marina was terrific. The ruins are breathtaking to see- very interesting.

Rome to Pompeii tour

Gregory_K, Sep 2026
Very fun tour of Pompeii. The lunch and wine tasting was good and enjoyed under the pergola. A nice end to a very warm day. Chiara our tour guide at Pompeii was excellent had lots of energy and knowledge. Luca who accompanied our group on the train rides to and from Pompeii did a great job also. His humor was on point and kept the day light.

Had a great tour with tour guides Carla and Luca. Carla was great with her knowledge of Pompeii. Luca was awesome with navigation the train stations. Great experience

Incredible experience,...

Abbie_R, Sep 2026
Incredible experience, highly recommend it if you're in Rome and want to see something out of the way of your trip. The tour through Pompeii was great by itself, but relaxing with food and wine at a winery after made it perfect.

Great Day in Pompeii

Camille_m, Sep 2026
This trip was very well organized and everything went so smoothly! All we had to do was show up!! We had a great 2 hour tour thru the ruins of Pompeii and our guide was so knowledgeable!!! Obviously you could spend all day there it is such a massive site, but this tour provided a fantastic overview with stops at all the major “spots”!! Next, we travelled just down the road to a beautiful winery where we were greeted with an icy cold glass of sparkling wine and a brief intro into the winery production steps. Then we were seated as a group underneath beautiful grape arbors where we enjoyed tasting 4 lovely wines from the winery which were accompanied by bread, charcuterie, pasta and dessert!! I would highly recommend this tour if you want a one day trip to Pompeii!!!!

Great informative Pompeii tour with lunch and wine

Patrick_S, Sep 2026
Wonderful tour of Pompeii ruins with an excellent lunch and wine tasting at the end. Guides Carla & Luca were knowledgeable and friendly and it was lovely to chat and make acquaintance with the other tour participants! Would definetly recommend!

Pompeii in August Hot!!

Such an interesting tour....

Leslie_H, Aug 2026
Such an interesting tour. Loved the fast train. Pompeii was incredible. And incredibly big. It was HOT! Take a hat.

Pompeii is so worth it

Donna_U, Aug 2026
Pompeii was amazing, brought to life by our amazing guide, Antonio. What a guy!!! The wines at the winery were lovely along with the charcuterie. The pasta and pudding were disappointing. We opted to make our own way back from Napoli on the last train so we could have a wander about.

Bernadette_M, Aug 2026
Loved this tour! Pompei tour and winery lunch made a great pairing. Excellent guides and well organized transportation. Do this in the fall when it’s not so hot!

Pompeii was a highlight!

PatriciaM_E, Aug 2026
Pompeii was on our bucket list and this tour did not disappoint. The high speed train was comfortable and quick, our tour guides (one on the train and one in Pompeii) were knowledgeable and delightful, and lunch and wine tasting at the winery was fun. Overall, a very nice tour.

Amazing day out, get your steps in with the Pompeii portion of the tour then relax with some lovely wines, food and cellos Great day out!

You won’t regret it! Worth every penny x

katelaramee, Aug 2026
It was fabulous, easy and great communication. Make sure to pack water and comfy shoes (and your SPF) for pompeii- great guide and fantastic agenda. The vineyard was just lovely! Perfect end to a perfect day!

We almost missed it, but...

Chasney_C, Aug 2026
We almost missed it, but Alda literally ran to us to help us navigate to our terminal. I forgot the name of the woman who was our guide on the train, but she was very helpful. Our tour guide, Victoria, was extremely knowledgeable and patient with the entire group. I highly recommend this tour but I would advise against bringing small children. Bring a fan, plenty water, and comfortable walking shoes. It’s a LOT of walking. I do hate we weren’t able to see the entire city, but it’s very large and would need majority of the day too see it all.

Pompeii tour and wine tasting

matthew_L, Aug 2026
Very well organised from start to finish. Pompeii is a destination where you learn more from a guide and ours was very knowledgeable. The wine tasting and meal was a great addition at the end of the tour. Met some brilliant people and had a fantastic day. I would definitely recommend this experience.

This tour was worth it!...

Isabelle_V, Jul 2026
This tour was worth it! It was great to spend time exploring Pompeii and then have a lovely lunch and wine tasting. Big shout out to Sabine for keeping multiple groups organized throughout each stage of the travel. She made it feel seamless!

Chiara and Fabrizione Rule Pompeii

Daniel_F, Jul 2026
Excellent experience and our guides Fabrizione and Chiara were great. Chiara took us around Pompeii and explained everything. She also made us look in places we never would have noticed if we did not have a guide. She answered all of our questions and took time to further explain if needed. Fabrizione was a great tour manager and he even gave us great restaurant recommendations when we returned to Rome. Fabrizione also was great with taking the time to help us out on the trip.

Fantastic tour. Well...
