The Temple of Jupiter dominates the northern side of the Forum. With the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which imitated those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base, so as to make them visible to those passing through the Forum square.

Great service, got us to where we wanted to go.
Great Mercedes Transport to and from Sorrento , informed guide who gave just the right level of information and lunch in a beautiful vineyard with wine tasting. Perfect way to do it. Take a hat and lots of cold water and sunscreen. There is little shade at Pompei. Don’t be tempted to do Herculaneum on the same day. Avoid the cameo sales pitch and get a cold drink instead!
We really had an amazing time visiting Pompeii.
We had a family of four with a 9 year old child and 76 year old senior. Our family did the Pompeii tour and lunch. The tour was very informative, the guide was fantastic. The group is relatively small. The headsets helped a lot. The lunch was at a charming winery to end our trip. It was perfect for a family half day trip.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We went a very nice route and learned fighting mass in the 2 hours
The whole excursion was amazing! Everything was one time and organized wonderfully. The olive oil at the vineyard was so good we bought a few bottles to go home with too.

We enjoyed our trip and the guide was well educated in Pompeii. I’m glad we had a guide to understand the city. The 4 hour tour was the perfect time to spend in the city.

A visit to Pompei is a must. If you want to have a good experience go with a small group with an experienced guide. If you want to have a stressless trip use a tour company that provides transport and an onboard guide. To top off the experience and make it memorable a visit to a winery with lunch and wine tastings makes this a must do. Make your trip truly memorable and use this company.

I went with my husband as part of our honeymoon. It was one of the hottest days and there was just a fire at Vesuvius a few days prior so Rosa reached out for us to have our trip refunded and changed to this experience. It was wonderful. We thought our driver was excellent and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating of the heat. She kept us in the shade as much as possible and answered all of our questions. What a lovely experience.
