We did the day tour of Positano and Pompeii from Rome today. Eduardo was our guide and he made the entire trip- seriously, it wouldn’t have been as wonderful of an experience without him. He was full of wonderful information and tips. The bus ride was great and I felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend.

Pleasant and organized. This tour was an excellent way to get out and explore the Tuscany region. With multiple stops, beautiful views, and kind service, it was worth it! Let them do the driving for you! Be prepared to walk, as with most tours in and out of Rome! Older folks should know there are steep inclines, so be prepared. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because of my own personal flavor profile. I thought the Pici pasta and wine tasting portion was just OK. The food was cooked for the masses, not for individual or as if you are family. Overall, good trip and would recommend if you want a true ALL DAY tour.

Tour led by Eduardo from city wonders - amazing amazing experience, Eduardo was outgoing friendly funny and kind, highly educated and informative! The day was long but one I will never forget, Pompeii was everything, a real bucket list experience, although you can’t see everything in just a couple of hours it’s an amazing thing Vesuvius- this was incredible, challenging but ultimately incredibly rewarding! Have good shoes, plenty of water and stamina. Take breaks going up and don’t rush coming down. The volcano crater is wow! And the view of the bay of Naples… beautiful The food provided was fantastic at a restaurant half way up to the volcano and a cheeky little surprise tasting on the way down Couldn’t recommend it more, just be prepared for the hike! Thank you Eduardo! Can’t rate him more highly
