This was one of the best day tours I’ve been on. I loved walking through Pompeii and seeing the ancient villas and amphitheater. Our guide was amazing, he explained everything so well, I especially loved hearing about how Romans used to live. The Amalfi town views were beautiful and the coach ride was smooth. Overall, the whole tour was well-paced and I recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
