The tour was amazing and I would highly recommend it! Eduardo was our tour leader and he provided a lot of information about Rome (history, as well as recommendations and cultural norms, and the Italian language), and the places we visited. He also provided some humor which was much appreciated as the day started out a little dreary with some early morning rain. This helped get everyone in the mood for a fun day out. My only criticism was the check-in process which felt a bit chaotic. There was a massive lineup at the Piazza del Popolo that we lined up in, only to be told we were too early and to wait 10 minutes and come back. So we basically had to lineup twice to check in. But once we had our assignment on which group we were with everything was top notch. The local guide we were sent with in Pompeii was also very knowledgeable and provided the group with some free time to explore and take pictures. And the stop in Cassino to break up the 3 hour commute from Rome to the Naples region was a great idea.

Great trip. Claudia and Luka did everything they could to make sure the awful weather didn't spoil our trip. It was a big day, but we'll worth it.

Great views and very rich in history. Overall had a great time eating pasta and drinking wine. But be prepared for lots of walking!

Spent the day with Jonathan, who was very delightful & and entertaining to have as a guide. Our driver Luca also did a splendid job taking us back & forth. I got to learn so much about the history of Rome, & the city of Pompeii, which has just stayed with me. Loved the coastal views of Amalfi. Positano was a lovely destination, though I wished we had more time to spend there. All in all, it was a memorable experience for me.

Rob was an awesome tour guide. Unfortunately, the tour had misleading expectations. The itinerary on the website shows 2 hours in Positano and 2 hours in Amalfi Coast, but during the tour, Rob gave us an itinerary of 2 hours in Positano and 1.5 hours in Amalfi Coast. We arrived at the Amalfi Coast close to 4 pm but had to meet back at 5:15 pm. I contacted Tripadvisor for a partial refund, but was denied. We were also packed into the Ferry on the way back from the Coast. It felt very unsafe--there were no seats available because they packed us all in one ferry to make sure we all stayed together. As for the destinations, they were breathtaking. I wouldn't recommend this booking and would find a different way to get to the Coast next time.

Guided tour is the way to go to get the true value and understanding of what the Vatican museums have to offer. We did the ‘Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St Peter’s Basilica’ guided tour. Being escorted by an expert tour guide, there’s shorter waiting time in line and easy navigation through the labyrinth of rooms and artwork. St Peter’s Basilica is stunning to see, indoors and outdoors. Lots to see at an easy pace and not overcrowded or stressful – quite spacious. I found Pope John XXIII quite fascinating to see – his corpse waxed, not embalmed, lays in a glass coffin. One of my daughter said that he looks like Santa. Oh… to see the Sistine Chapel, you must go through the entire Vatican Museums, which is at the very end, where you will find ‘The Last Judgement’ painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti. Let’s not kid ourselves, The Last Judgement is the “attention getter” and our main reason why we did this tour and definitely for many other tourists to visit Vatican Museums. We were struck with admiration standing under the much talked about, famous detailed work of art, which only took Michelangelo four years to complete – ceiling and vault decoration. Unfortunately, it was overcrowded, you could barely move, to appreciate the artwork and as a whole, the experience was not enjoyable. I simply don’t understand nor have we were given a valid reason why we can’t take photos of the Sistine Chapel? Our tour guide showed passion, professionalism and had immense knowledge and in-depth description of ancient artworks and artists involved. However, she told us, that if we spend one minute in front of each art work (20,000 are on display) in the Vatican Museums, it would take you four years to get through it. Our tour guide had a quietvox for us to hear clearly, as we all were given earphones to hear what she had to share. Should you still want to see the Sistine Chapel, I highly recommend Viator, they give you clear and helpful information of the meeting point, time and what you need to bring – yes, you definitely need to bring a valid passport for entry purposes. Be sure to wear comfy walking shoes (a lot of walking and stairs involved) and also bring a bottle of water – lots of drinking fountains available throughout. There’s definite room for improvements that could be made and that is to cut back on the amount of visitors at The Vatican, so the experience won’t be overwhelming or not enjoyable. Definitely not suitable for children. Note: When we booked the tour, we were advised that you must wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when visiting sacred or holy places, which we did. But when we got there, we had noticed a plethora of exposed shoulders and knees. It was a heatwave that day, not too sure if the workers there were told to “turn a blind eye” or they simply used common sense? I would suggest, if it’s a hot day, wear cool clothing but bring with you a scarf for just-in-case.

Very well organized and run professionally. Sonya was very descriptive in her conversations about the region. Highly recommend it

Our guide Heather was simply great! She really made the day perfect! She was so nice, informative and funny without being annoying! She showed us all the hidden places for incredible views, and made sure we were all having a great time! You don’t have to be a wine drinker to enjoy this tour! Great day!

Johnathan made our tour great and easy to maneuver. He made sure we were all informed and comfortable! He was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, these traits are so important for a lengthy day trip. I would book another tour with him again!

The tour guide (Sonia with an I) was really lovely and provided a great service to us. She provided us with in depth information about Rome and Sorrento and the meanings behind the mountains, the coast and the Roman times. She ensured the information was the right level and made sure she spoke to everyone on the tour which was very sweet. This tour is a must to attend as there is so much to learn but extremely fun too! Thank you Sonia for the little present (lemon soap).

We took the Pompeii and Sorrento trip in September. This trip was well worth the money . Be prepared it is a long day but so jammed packed full of great sights, information and entertainment. The enthusiasm our tour guide, John, shares with the participants is fabulous! He is funny, extremely knowledgeable and incredibly helpful! Sorrento was breathtakingly beautiful and Pompeii is an absolute MUST SEE! This city is so well preserved that you can almost feel the people that lived in this town 2000 years ago!

Paula H was friendly, smiley and very knowledgeable. A great experience and informative tour. Throughly recommended.

One of the most amazing experiences I've had. Our guide John was born to do the job. His knowledge is 2nd to none and mixed with awesome humor and jokes. He goes above and beyond with helping with 1 on one advice not related to the tour as well. It's a long day but we'll worth it.

The ticketing was very good can't fault the collection point and helpfulness of the staff but the Vatican trip itself is an abomination of what it once was. I expect busy and yes it's August I have been before but to see never ending huge vast swathes of tourists crammed into the beautiful corridors being herded into the place and packed to bursting in the Sistine Chapel is sad beyond measure. I felt like I was leaving a football match it was that crowded. This is just a cash cow now there is no respect for the beauty around you honestly shameful and pricey too, this in comparison to Uffizi Gallery or Academia in Florence same month where you have space and quietness to appreciate the beauty - what a sad place it has become a money making cash cow for the Catholic church.

Was hoping for a breath taking experience. However, it was absolutely terrible. Started with an enormous security queue, baring in mind this tour is 'fast entry' and 'skip the queue', the entry absolutely wasn't fast. Nor was the queue organised, starting as one large group of people having no idea where they are supposed to queue and people being able to join the queue anywhere they desire. Was happy to see past this however the tour has easily become the worst experience I've had on holiday yet. They clearly let far too many people in and it turned into being herded like cattle through the entire of the museum and the Sistine chapel. We were continually ushered through the entire area, including the chapel due to there being so many people, we needed to keep walking and so probably spent a maximum 30 seconds in the chapel - couldn't tell you what it looked like! I expect when organised it would be fascinating, but this was clearly to get as many people through to get more money.
