I was unsure if it was worth going to Pompeii for the day as it was an all day excursion with my family. I am so glad we went, our tour guide, Enrica and our driver, Marco made the trip relaxing and enjoyable. When we arrived at Pompeii, we were greeted by a knowledgeable guide specifically for the archeological site and we learned quite a bit about life in Pompeii prior to the eruption of Vesuvius. It is was all pretty fascinating and even my teenage son was equally interested. We would’ve preferred ti hike Mt. Vesuvius but unfortunately this option was not available in Feb. but we did get to explore Naples a bit. Highly recommend, a nice way to break up our visit to Rome.

Our guide, Alec was super knowledgeable on the history of Rome. I didn’t think much going into the castle but it turned out to be very interesting and one of my favourite tours after spending a week in Rome! Definitely recommend

Great ticket price and services. Although the prices overall for Villa Borghese is way expensive in my opinion.

Very easy to access the audio guide and it had lots of cool information that I enjoyed.

Very knowledgeable, clear, informative and funny guide. Enjoyed whole tour. Thank you
