“Wow! We cannot explain what a great decision it was booking this. Our tour guide Teresa was fantastic. So knowledgeable and able to give information in a way we could understand. She was brilliant with our 8 year old daughter. We learnt so much and well worth the money! We have already recommended to several people we have met whilst being in Italy. If you are undecided whether to book, just book you won’t be disappointed!!”

Skip-the-line Porta Marina Inferiore entry to Pompeii plus an authorized multilingual audioguide, numbered stops, and a handy map for a flexible visit.
“Five hours here was enough to work out we needed longer, and can totally see why they sell a three day pass. Go early, spend all day, and you'll still feel you need to see more! The scale of the place is amazing and the level of detail still left is hard to describe, it's breathtaking. We went in mid October and there was still crowds but not so much that there too many people. Remember to wear comfortable shoes as hours on cobblestones will take their toll.”

“Great tour, very well organized! Transportation was easy and timely. The guide Nancy (well, her English version of the name) gave us plenty of information, clear instructions and was always there when we needed. Capri was beautiful, the tour was well planned with plenty of time in each stop. Augustus Gardens were spectacular. If you are going for the first time, I highly recommend this tour.”

Explore Napoli Sotterranea’s ancient aqueducts and WWII bomb shelter in an English small-group tour, about 1 hour, with a guide.
“This was an excellent tour, “Mario” (the English tour guide) was really very good at telling us the stories that made the tour even more interesting. It’s a 40m climb down the stairs, a few very skinny tunnels to trudge through and a 16m climb back up. Not hard at all, very enjoyable, and totally worth it!”
