Customer Reviews
Fantastic guide! We enjoyed learning the history. Climbing the volcano, and taking in the beautiful views. Highly recommended!
The location was easy to find. We booked our tickets and there was a "meeting point" about 150 feet away from the entrance. It was a little unclear that we didn't really need the meeting point. We got to the catacombs location and there was a long line for entry. We thought we could "skip the line" as your ticket title suggested but I guess that's for something else. We had to wait in line for the security access to the catacombs which makes sense.
We couldn't decide how to spend our day and this was the best way! We loved seeing Pompeii and Vesuvius! Thank you to the Roman Guy!
We started with a trip to Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius and grew our number of experiences with The Roman Guy up to 5 (Pompeii/Mt. Vesuvius/Rome/Colosseum/Venice and the Vatican City). Each held up to the same standard. The guides are local, and have a knowledge and passion for the areas they showed us. The guide's passion for the area, the knowledge and interest were fantastic. It all started with exceptional booking and then the tours all lived up to our expectations and beyond. Flexible, interesting, fun, exciting. The guides were fantastic, all the drivers were fun. And we added some special things to each tour as we could so much flexibility is offered. I love the Roman Guy and would certainly use them again. We also got to input to the tour to be sure we got to see all that we wanted to see and experience beyond the intinerary including a winery (on Vesuvius) and some hidden gems in Venice. Wear comfortable shows, bring sunscreen, cameras and an open mind and not just walk and see the history, but experience it with the Roman Guy. Very authentic, not just a run of the mill experience. What we liked least, having the tour and fun end.
