I booked a group tour of Pompeii with Walk of Italy while I was traveling through Italy for 5 weeks last winter. It was called "Pompeii Done Properly - Must Sees and Mysteries." I'm an ancient history buff and my visit to Pompeii was one of the most profoundly moving and thrilling experiences of my life ... and it almost... More

On the Walks of Italy website, this tour is called "Vesuvius Volcano – Down into the Crater." And it forms the Vesuvius portion of the all-day tour "Vesuvius & Pompeii – Full-Day Excursion." I am putting this review in the "Pompeii Day Tour" category because there is no category for the Vesuvius tour. I wish I could rate my guide... More

Dear bzz77, We work very hard to have every tour be a success and every client satisfied and we are truly disappointed that this wasn't your experience with us. We would like to take this opportunity to explain the confusion with regards to your "volcanologist" guide. The guides we work with are "Guide Vulcanologiche" which are certified by the "Collegio...

We really enjoyed our "Walks of Italy" tour of Pompeii. Sasha was our guide, and did an excellent job. My fiance and I had been there before, and warned the two couples with us that touring Pompeii without a guide was a disappointing experience, so we made the tour with Walks of Italy. Sasha told us things we had not... More

A tour guide is probably th best way to tackle Pompeii and Giovanni, our guide for the day was both filled with a wealth of knowledge and... More

We had a tour of Pomeii with Sasha Bianco from Walks of Italy. He was wonderful and we had such a great and informative tour because of him. He was very knowledgeable and was able to get us around all the lines/crowds. We visited points of interest that none of the other tour guides had access to. I highly recommend... More

We discovered Walks of Italy just before leaving on our two-week trip. Immediately we booked a Twilight Tour of Rome and Tour of Vatican City but we were hestitant to commit to much more than that without having personal experience with the tour company. Our first night in Rome, we met up for the Twilight Tour and it was a... More
