What to do and see in Pompeii, Campania: The Best Bus Tours

August 12, 2021 Velvet Champine

Pompeii is a Roman town frozen in time, thanks to a devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Explore houses from modest to majestic; see Roman shops, baths and brothels; or apply your high-school Latin to the graffiti that's still visible on some of the walls. End your visit at the Villa of the Mysteries, and try to interpret its amazing, bizarre frescoes—scholars have debated their meaning for years.

We had a private tour as a couple. Alessandro was our amazing guide! He picked us up at the port on time and we drove straight to Rome. He was an excellent driver, showed us all of the highlights, dropped us off at various areas and picked us up on time. We then went to the Vatican where we met our guide Paulo. We had a private tour by a highly educated guide. We were able to skip the line and avoid crowds. Private Tours May cost a bit more but they are worth every cent!! Our day was amazing!

This is my second review on this issue, as I've sent "Walks" another email in regards to their "refund policy".This really deserves to be in quotations, as many can attest they don't really have a "refund policy", only the faint promise of one, that will eventually end in a gift voucher. My query is will they continue to honor this voucher past the initial offer? Currently, and into the foreseeable future, the possibilities to book and travel for a vacation in Italy is questionable at best, with the ongoing COVID restrictions. Walks offered vouchers to 150% for the booked tours cost, or something to that tune. Though I'll bet my $400+ CAD tour that all the tours will have increased by at least 150% to cover costs associated with loss of business, and requisite costs for COVID related restrictions and cleaning measures, for your "safety". I'm still requesting that WALKS do the right thing and refund, in full, everyone's booked tours monies, as promised, and as per they're own refund policy...I'm not holding my breath. It will likely require a class action lawsuit against these turkeys. Of all our bookings to Italy, everyone of them EXCEPT Walks, honored and refunded all monies.

Booking my tour with driverinrome for my Assisi trip was the best decision I made. They have the best customer service and very friendly drivers that can surely provide you with impressive information about the place. They ensure that you will have the best tour experience with their company. If I will have the chance to tour entire Italy, I would definitely have Driverinrome arrange it for me as they have tours available in different cities.
