The vehicle was modern and very comfortable for such a long trip.

Review of the Rome to Pompeii day trip, covering the ruins, guide, lunch, coach ride, multilingual format, timing, and value.
“Overall I enjoyed the tour - I had been wanting to see Pompeii for years, just a little disappointed in the amount of time we spent in Pompeii - and we got no free time within the ruins. Also, I thought it was an English tour but it was English and Spanish and there were only 6 of us who spoke English and towards the end it seemed like the guide was only speaking Spanish. We was a nice guide and very knowledgeable but at times very quiet and hard to hear/understand - but that may have been my headset as there was a lot of interference. We shared a…”

Our guide, Christopher, was the best. He really made the trip that much better - we had some troublesome people on our tour but he handled everything so well and professionally! I would recommend for sure.”
Review of a Tulum ruins and Cenote Puerta Maya day trip from Cancun, with pricing, hidden fees, timing, guides, swimming, and practical tips.
“Wonderful experience, but would have enjoyed time to look around alone, stayed in a group for the full 2 hrs we were there. Bring a metal water bottle cause plastic is not allowed inside. Told about hidden fees the day before the trip. Would have been nice if they let u know while booking the trip. Plan on paying approximately $40 usd the day of the trip not included in the price for booking the trip. Overall it was a great experience they should just be honest about the actual cost.”
Review of Nagano’s snow monkeys, Zenkoji Temple, sake tasting, and local lunch, with practical tips on timing, walking, transport, and value.
“It started with great customer service by snow monkey resorts, the provider of this tour. I contacted them and they replied timely to my questions. GYG does not advertise that this company is willing to offer different pick up and drop off locations so I contacted them directly and they were able to confirm the start of my tour in Nagano and drop off in Hakuba. The big bus can carry your luggage. Once in Nagano we met our great guide John who took us around Nagano, sake tour and snow monkeys. John was approachable, informative, and very helpful. when we met he already knew about our drop off arrangement…”

Explore Ostia Antica from Rome by train in a small group, with entry, transport, and an engaging guide included.
“This was really an insightful tour into a complete Roman city ruin. Provided a very real understanding of how the Romans lived and thought. Our host Alberto provided a clear view of how The Romans lived and the history of this particular city. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to truly explore the Roman day to day experience. Family was initially skeptical of “archaeological” tour (I was quite excited) but they all found the tour enlightening and enjoyable - no regrets at all. If traveling with teenagers - maybe offer them option to continue trek after tour to go to Ostia beaches just 1-2 stops further down rail from Ostia…”
A boat, a castle, a waterfall or a very long lunch.
