Naples and Pompeii Day Trip from Rome
Rome, Italy
My Rating

Terrible!!! Did nothing but take a bus tour of Naples.Only one stop for a quick picture, other than that just pointed out different sights in Naples.Naples is the birthplace of pizza, no stop to try the pizza !! Finally arrived in Pompei after 7 1/2 hours.The tour guide at Pompeii was good and lunch wasnt bad either. Biggest complaint is we booked and English tour and that was only one of three different languages it was in so none stop foreign lamguage over the bus PA system most of the 14 hour day. Russian tour guides english was hard to understand at times.

Capri Day Trip from Rome
Rome, Italy
My Rating

Ok.tour,Viatour booked us through Green Line Tours for this trip. Not the best organized and we departed late.Extermly crowded tour ,we had 3 full size buses(150) people.Hard for the guide to mangae the tranfer from bus to jet boat to get to the island.Russian guide,(Nina) some english problems.Capri is ablsolutly stunning ,how ever very crowed and not much to do other than take in the scenery and ride the chair lift to the top. we were not able to take the blue grotto tour.We tooke 8 tours in our 16 days in Rome and Green line tours was our least favorite provider

Excellent walking tour!! This was booked with Dark Rome tours and our guide ,Francesca, was fantastic!! Local lady ,good english skille and really knew her stuff.Provided good knowledge and a fun day. These areas are very crowded but she got us through everything.
