It was amazing what our Pompeii tour guide managed to teach us in 2 hours but it was much too short for such a large site. I would skip the Sorrento aspect (if you're travelling in Winter) as it was very quiet and would recommend you to do a full day at Pompeii instead.

It flowed nicely from the time we got into the bus till we got back to Rome..The day was beautiful and the guides were so knowledgeable and got everyone all gathered up with minimal fuss. John was great and the guide in Pompeii was the best. Thank you again for a great time. My family loved it.

We had an incredible day trip with our two children (6 & 8 yrs old). The Amalfi Coast was breathtaking, with a beautiful whistle stop in Sorrento and an enriching tour in Pompei, which the kids enjoyed as much as the adults. A highlight of the tour was our knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, Antonino from City Wonders; a week later and we're still talking about the stories he shared with us! Julio our bus driver was also great and went out of his way to entertain the kids! We highly recommend doing this tour.

Fantastic experience in Pompeii and Sorrento. Our tour guide Heather, driver Francesco, and the guide at Pompeii Antonio were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Great recommendations on how to spend free time in Sorrento. Pompeii was a lot bigger than we were expecting - the tour was wonderful but you do miss out on quite a few areas simply due to having limited time.

Danilo is a great singer :)) and Marinela is such a great teller! Both of them with their specific hospitality guided us through our journey so specific so that we won't miss out a thing! Their energy was fulfilling and the care and safety were top level! Thank you so much and wish you all the best! Ramona&Valeriu I

Bus driver and guides were excellent throughout. We started off in Rome and made our way along the Amalfi Coast towards Sorrento, with a couple of stops on the way for some Limoncello and chocolate tasting while the driver has a break. We had lunch in this beautiful resturaunt in Sorrento overlooking the sea. The only issue I had with this trip is that a couple of travellers on the tour were 30 mins late in coming back to the bus meeting point after lunch, therefore we lost 30 mins in Pompeii, which only gave us 1 hour in Pompeii and it was very rushed as you need more time than an hour to fully experience Pompeii. It's a shame that other travellers can ruin the experience for everyone else by not paying attention to the meet up times states by the guide but it is what it is.

The stops were great. Free time in Sorrento was great. The guide in Pompeii was excellent. So knowledgeable, had lots of stories, showed us a few key points rather than running us through. The main issue, that made the day quite uncomfortable, is that there was no bathroom on the bus. The total trip was 13 hours, 4 was spent at Pompeii and Sorrento (including limoncello stop), and about 1 hour for bathroom stops. That is still 8 hours in a bus with no bathroom. I would not recommend this tour for that reason alone.

Laura was an excellent guide. She was very helpful, had the best tips, taught us about the history of the didferent places we passed by and also showed us some local songs. The tour guide at Pompeii was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. I highly recommend joining this daytrip. It was also interesting to visit the limoncello factory on that day. I would just recommend people to do some research before Sorrento, so that you know what to do during your free time.

The places visited and the local guide in Pompeii, very clear and friendly in their treatment. Not like the tour guide, we knew it was in English language that we understand, but we do not speak fluently, the guide Maria Helena, did not try by any means to understand or understand what we needed, another person on the tour spoke 3 languages and she understood us as well as the English speaking passengers, but the guide did not, she had no will for that. At the same time, on the return trip we had a delay of more than 1 hr, because the guide did not give us the schedule and the pick up point, 6 passengers had to take a cab to the bus.

Incredible experience visiting Pompeii, we had a decent amount of time to explore the ruins on our own as we didn't have the guided tour. The guide (Marcus) who took us from Rome to Pompeii and back was very friendly, talkative and knowledgable, on the journey to Pompeii telling us about the history of the area and places we were going past. At our brief stop off in Naples he came over to me and chatted about Vesuvius and the surrounding area pointing things out to me.

What I booked was not what I was expecting as I thought it was a guided tour of Pompeii but the bus guide upgraded our tickets to include lunch and the guided tours of Napoli and Pompeii. So glad we paid the extra for this otherwise we would not have seen as much of Pompeii as we did. Raphael was very knowledgeable and kept us on task to get the most out of our experience.

Excellent transportation, a 10 to the driver who was at an excellent speed and attentive to the road. Excellent guide, Katy. Very friendly and attentive to the group. The only drawback, the service area where they stop to "have a snack", charges 3 € for the cappuccino, when I know, that in bar, you can not charge me more than 2 €. And the paninis, very expensive. Little time in the ruins of Pompeii to go to a viewpoint in Naples that was out of the question. If I want to see Naples, I travel to Naples, I wanted the most hours in pompeii. But it was nice and safe bus transportation. It was appreciated because of how they normally drive in Italy.

First of all, thank you for this day. Even though it's over 600km from Rome, it was worth every effort. Seeing Pompeii is a highlight. Superbly preserved, you get a wonderful insight into Roman life. Via Appia Antica is an orphan compared to the roads here. The paintings are also very well preserved. The funniest thing we found was the 90 fast food stations for local residents. At first we were worried that we would only see a small corner in the two hours. But our local guide had a great route and we were able to see a lot. Vesuvius was much more stressful afterwards. You are chased up the mountain on a full stomach and have to be back down at a certain time. I can say one thing. We're not the least fit, but it was close. We were two minutes late. One criticism in passing. The restaurant for the toilet break is outrageously overpriced. From time to time the trip feels like a coffee run. But let's put that to one side, you can decide against it and not buy anything. The day was great and we would book it again and again.

I thought Pompeii was good and I would have liked to have had longer. It felt like we'd just touched on the story and didn't get to see any tombs apart from one. Also I thought we were going to walk up Vesuvius from the bottom to top not be driven up there to walk the last 20 minutes. Also we had to wait for our guide to translate into Spanish at each section because we had a couple who were Spanish whilst the rest of us were English. I'm sure we would have seen a lot more had this not been the case.

We booked Rome to Pompei and Vesuvio experience for the family of five. Everything went as scheduled. Our coordinator during the trip mentioned several interesting facts about Rome. In Pompei we had our own guide, same while climbing Vesuvio. BTW, our bus stopped by the shortest path to the top which was very convinient. I sincerely recommend this experience!

The Vesúvio tour was really good, and the guide was attentive. The Pompeii tour itself was good, but the guide was not a really good English speaker (we could understand the major part, but sometimes it was not possible to understand her). Eduardo - the general guide - was really sweet with us!

Everything went well and according to plan. Our Leader Guide was very friendly and thoughtful, always wanting to know if everything was alright with everyone - there was a older lady in our group that had issues dealing with the heat and tiredness, he made sure that everything went smoothly, both for that lady and for the rest of the group (safety and time management wise). He gave us very interesting information regarding relevant key points of the tour during our bus ride. At our stop at the marvellous and enormous ancient city of Pompey, we were accompanied by a lovely local Guide, who was very informative as well as very funny. After the visit to Pompey we went to lunch to a designated restaurant, the food was ok, nothing special but included. The drinks were not included as advertised, however the big glass bottle of water that we asked for came already opened and by its awful taste it was clearly water that it as been refilled and was probably store under the sun in a plastic container. Moreover the drinks were clearly overpriced. We stop drinking it and requested a new plastic bottle which was sealed. For the Vesuvius visit, we changed quickly and smoothly to a smaller and comfortable panoramic bus with a clear rooftop (provided shade). During the ride up to the Volcano with listen to an Audio Guide provided in 8 languages. After climbing 1000m up the mountain by bus, we got of the bus and made a brief hike with another local guide. He was very nice and informative, however had some trouble speaking in English - although it was more or less easy to understand. Our final stop before returning to Rome was a very quick visit to a Coral/Camos jewelry workshop/factory/store were they make pieces of jewellery with metal such as gold and silver combined with seashells - very pretty and especially expensive. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

The Vesuvius experience was a little short because, although it did not consist of going up to the crater, the explanations of the local guide left much to be desired. Still, it is well worth it to go up in the windowless bus with a driver as attentive as the one we had.

What I liked most about the head out ticket experience was the ease in which the transaction happened. It was very easy.

On the trip to the Colosseum the guide was very helpful, in pompells the guide was more helpful in English than in Spanish, the guide at the Vatican was very helpful although he did not speak Spanish well.

It was a small group, Cristina was a wonderful host, guides were welcoming, food at the restaurant was good, drinks and stuff (everywhere not only at the stops) are expensive, Pompeii and Vesuvius sites were ok, perhaps the publicity of the places created "over-expectations". Anyway is a place one should see in a lifetime and Green Line Tours showed it to us very lively. Thank you.

Our guide Eduardo was very nice and very helpful. Our guide in Pompeii, on the other hand, was very unfriendly. We did the tour with 3 small children. Our guide lady made an extremely annoyed impression and got us through quite quickly. In contrast, our guide Umberto, who took us on a short tour of Vesuvius, was very understanding and kind to our children. In general, everything went smoothly, but we had expected more from the tour. All in all, it was ok. If we hadn't been the only ones and hadn't wanted a private tour, the €140 per person would have been too much.

Our guide Eduardo was very helpful and friendly. The bus driver drove very safely. However, we ran out of time and didn't make it all the way up Mount Vesuvius. That was really disappointing.

Our guides were great and informative. All the tickets, transportation, and the meal were taken care of ahead of time. The two problems were that the Headout website didn't give an appropriately detailed description, and didn't direct us to the website of the actual tour company.

I liked everything, the information shared by the guides, all very professional, Barbara is spectacular and made us feel very good throughout the tour. I would have liked to see a little more of the tour inside Pompeii, but everything is well scheduled for the established time, good organization. Highly recommend the tour.

Top things to do in Rome
Why go on a Rome to Pompeii day trip?
- The perfect getaway: Although Pompeii is 241 kilometers from Rome, it's easily accessible by high-speed trains or buses. If you're based in Rome, exploring must-see sites like Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast are popular and worthwhile getaways.
- Explore the historic ruins: Pompeii is like a time capsule. Stroll the same streets as ancient Romans, see their preserved villas, grand amphitheater and the haunting plaster casts of victims - imagine life as it was before Mount Vesuvius erupted.
- Tailored experiences: Whether you’re a history lover, adventurer, or sightseer, there’s a tour that fits your interests. Opt for a guided tour, see the lesser-known ruins of Herculaneum, climb Mount Vesuvius, or pair your trip with a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast.
- Efficient use of time: Well-planned tours allow you to explore the key sites of Pompeii in just a few hours. With the right tickets, you can efficiently navigate the ruins and still have time to return to Rome for dinner.
- Relax and enjoy: With our tours, we handle all the planning, leaving you free to focus on the experience. Whether you prefer a guided or self exploration, we've got it all covered.
