The grottos and caves we saw on our boat ride were just as beautiful as the Blue Grotto so don’t be disappointed if it happens to be closed. Highly recommend this tour.”

Our guide at Pompeii and Herculaneum ensured we got the most out of our time there. Pompeii is such a large site and having a guide who knew it so well ensured we got to see the key areas in the allotted time, something we definitely could not have achieved by ourselves. Our guide’s knowledge of the sites also meant we learnt a lot that we did not know before and could really appreciate the significance of the sites. Was great to have lunch in between the sites, to refuel and recuperate.Read…”
