Review of Rome to Pompeii by high-speed train, with guided ruins, Mount Vesuvius winery, wine tasting, and lunch.
“I joined the one-day tour from Rome to Pompeii and a local winery, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Despite bad weather and road closures due to Winter Olympic events, Ida and Fabrizio did an amazing job arranging everything smoothly and making sure the group was well taken care of. Ida’s explanations at Pompeii were especially impressive. She brought history to life by describing what society was like back then and how people actually lived day to day. It made the ruins feel much more vivid and meaningful rather than just a sightseeing stop. The winery visit was also excellent, with great wine and a lovely atmosphere. I even…”

“Pompeii is an incredible place to visit. I have never seen such a big ancient city before and I am glad I did it. The guide explained a lot of things and gave us a lot of information, but compared to other guides her English wasn't that good and we kind of get lost in translation from time to time.”

Review of the Rome to Positano and Amalfi day trip by high-speed train and ferry, with timing, costs, guide tips, beaches, and practical advice.
“Graziella our guide was excellent. She did a great job managing our trip and group. We had a smooth transition to all our transportation despite it being very crowded and hot everywhere. It’s a well run trip overall. My only suggestion and feedback to the tour company and others taking this trip is this: I would have preferred to just do Positano and to have more time there. It was very rushed going to both Positano and Amalfi. It would have been better to just do one stop or the other, not both for this day trip. One tip, you can book this trip but then once you get to…”
