Excellent, We were there in March and it was amazing. The food at Suisse was great, the entire atmosphere was serene and somewhat eerie. I did enjoy getting a class picture with the ruins and Vesuvius in the background. Your video makes me feel like I'm back there again. This will be great for my students who weren't able to make the trip. We're in Ohio.

[@lilpenny1982]

@@AureliasMyth1 I think there's a tour where you can climb Mount Vesuvius. Don't know the details of this though.

[@Romewise]

@@AureliasMyth1 Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience. It is an amazing visit - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hello Elyssa! I’m Mirko, your tour guide in Pompeii. I’ve just casually come across this video and it made my day. Thank you for the lovely comment and I’m glad you appreciated the tour with me.

[@Romewise]

Hello Mirko!! Thanks so much for remembering me. I had a wonderful time on that tour and you were one of the reasons. You really brought the place to life for us. I realize how hard it can be to try to share such a vast place with so much to see, but you helped us see the highlights and also allowed us to imagine what life must have been like for the Pompeiians long ago. Thank you again for a brilliant tour and thanks for watching the video!

[@andyroo9381]

I enjoyed the cat lounging in the sun and admiring the ruins.

[@Romewise]

That was also one of my favorite parts of the visit!!

[@livebeekeeping]

Pompeii is definitely worth a visit. It's fascinating that such an advanced civilisation existed in 79 AD.

[@Romewise]

Yes, it really is amazing - and as brutal as that eruption was, it also preserved so much of the city which is why we can still see so much of it today.

[@livebeekeeping]

@@Romewise Shure! A glaring contradiction. For some it was a tragedy. For us this is an opportunity to their brilliant the past. Such a life!

[@merlin4180]

Last April I did the full day small bus tour with Walks of Italy. This tour included a drive along the Amalfi coast to Positano with time for lunch ( not included) and a guided tour of Pompeii. I would HIGHLY recommend this small group Walks of Italy day tour

[@Romewise]

I agree, Walks of Italy is one of my favorite tour companies. They consistently offer excellent small group tours. Here is the one from Rome to Naples with Amalfi coast drive that you mention, if anyone wants to check it out: tinyurl.com/rome-pompeii

Hi Elyssa, a great idea to have a day trip to Pompeii. We have been 2 times now as well as to Herculaneum when in Sorrento, it is spectacular a must visit place and so easy from Rome and we have even eaten at the restaurant you had lunch in. Once more a great tip from you, to see Pompeii when in Rome, not many people would think of that. Take care.

[@Romewise]

Thanks, Peter! Wow that's amazing that you had lunch where we did. I was worried it would be touristy but I thought it was quite a nice lunch and the pizza was excellent! Yes, Herculaneum is another must, of course! I think it's amazing you can see all this from Rome. It's one thing to visit from Naples or Sorrento, but it's great that you can even go as a day trip to Rome, and it was not even that tiring! Thanks as always for your comments!

[@faehse47]

Does the food stops have Dieter options e.g.gluten free (allergy)

[@peterjones7673]

@@faehse47 Hi I am sure if you contact the Ristorante Suisse which is outside the entrance of Pompeii will answer all you dietary questions, the food was really good when we ate there, hope this helps.

[@Romewise]

@@faehse47 I am not sure, however, when you book, I suggest letting the tour company know right away of any food intolerances or restrictions. When we got on the bus at 7:30, almost first thing, our tour leader told us what was on the menu and had us choose so that the restaurant would be prepared. So first, I'd check with the tour company either before you book or when you book. Second, when you order your food on the bus, you have another chance to let them know about any restrictions.

[@stevefarmer105]

We have been 3 times and its so worth it. Still haven't seen everything and they are uncovering more each time. Great Video

[@Romewise]

Thanks for your compliments! I am grateful! Yes, it's one of those sites you need to visit many times and even then, it's hard to "see it all"!

[@davidcooper7339]

Excellent job of making my future trip to Pompey less stressful. Thank you for sharing!

[@Romewise]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Danny-hm6vk]

We took a similar day trip on the 25th of March but ended up in Positano instead of Naples. It was our first time in Italy so we knew nothing. It was a long day but the trip was awesome and the guides were very good. It was a great way to see a little of everything and check some sites off of our list. I would say it is an especially good trip for first time visitors. I also want to thank you for your content it was a huge help to us on our trip. I can't stress enough how helpful the Romewise website and channel were. I can't wait until I can come back again and see more of Italy and Rome.

[@Romewise]

First of all, thank you so much for your very kind comments. I'm glad you enjoy my content and find it helpful. Second of all, I think ending up in Positano is not such a bad thing :D. Positano is also beautiful. There is so much to see, and it's hard to "see it all", even when you live here, and I always say that anything you do see will be wonderful I'm happy to hear you had such an enjoyable trip! Thanks again!

[@Danny-hm6vk]

@@Romewise Positano was great we were not disappointed. The time spent there was a little short but it is a long trip for one day. I look forward to more content and more inside information. I am glad that you have such a passion for doing it.

[@Romewise]

@@Danny-hm6vk Yes, even a short visit to Positano can give you a sense of how beautiful it is. Thanks for letting me know you enjoy my content! I've got lots more coming to the channel!

[@rohanrawat2402]

I really admire your work on youtube…Would you recommend a day trip to Positano and amalfi from Rome ?

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much! All of these day trips from Rome to this region involve a long day. So if that's ok with you, then yes, it's fine. Also, to visit Positano and Amalfi from Rome as a day trip means you won't see a lot, but like in this video, you will see something! In the description of this video, I link to a tour that includes Naples and Amalfi: gyg.me/NCU3gm2R. Here is another tour that includes Amalfi and Positano: gyg.me/rJsiTIeR. Enjoy!

[@tunnus.123]

Great.

[@mjkaplow]

I’m sold on this video! Planning on doing the that day trip adventure you recommended. Question: How much should I tip the tour guide for a tour like the one you took? And should I tip the driver too? Thank you in advance! 😊

[@Romewise]

That's great - you will love it! I tipped our Pompeii guide 10€ and I paid the bus driver + tour leader 15€. We really enjoyed all the staff, including the driver (who didn't say much but we felt in good hands - it was a very smooth ride!)

[@mjkaplow]

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate your help! Now going back to watch more of your videos!

[@Romewise]

@@mjkaplow My pleasure, I hope you enjoy the Pompeii trip, and I hope you enjoy my other content!

[@IamKvothe]

From my point of view it doesn't make any sense to create a video where everything was planned by a tour company, what would be more interesting and pretty much needed is to show how we can organize a trip from Rome to Pompeii by ourselves, with the different options. Anyways thank you for the info, it is appreciated.

[@Romewise]

Yes, that's true! But I was going to Pompeii with a tour and wanted to make the video anyway. I'll try to make another one where I show how to go on your own. Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

[@Godlvr008]

11 trips to Italy,yet to see Pompeii, everyone knows pizza is just an excuse to eat melted cheese, Naples,dodgy, take pride on serving pizza w no cheese, Sorrento and Positano da bomb! Thanks Elyssa for great info!

[@Romewise]

Oh I think you would love Pompeii! It's truly an amazing, fascinating site. But it's also huge and I think one would need multiple visits there to see it all! I'll take any excuse to eat pizza! Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks as always!!

[@EmanuelaCherubini]

La pizza non si mangia per il formaggio fuso quello lo puoi fare in altri momenti e con altri cubi. La pizza, la mangi proprio perché è la PIZZA 🍕

[@danhworth100]

I would like to get there on my own and then hire a guide. Did it seem easy to find a guide on arrival?

[@Romewise]

Yes, this is a popular way to go, and yes you will find licensed tour guides outside the ruins and can hire one. In very high season, you may have a harder time finding a guide but it should be doable.

[@lilpenny1982]

There's also a house here where you can see a mosaic of Alexander the Great

[@Romewise]

The beautiful mosaic that shows Alexander the Great in battle was once in the House of the Faun in Pompeii. It, along with many mosaics, frescoes, sculptures and other art, is now housed in the National Archeological Museum of Naples, one of my favorite museums in the world and very much worth a visit! mann-napoli.it/en/home-english/ Unfortunately, the mosaic has been removed from the wall and replaced with a facsimile while the original undergoes a long restoration. They do not yet have a date for when this work will be completed. You can learn about the restoration here: mann-napoli.it/en/the-restoration-of-the-mosaic-of-alexander/

[@lilpenny1982]

@@Romewise That's disappointing. That mosaic was really good too. So what happed to the House of Faun? Is it still open to the public? What in this house now? I feel like that's the reason why people go in this house.

[@lilpenny1982]

@@Romewise Btw, I'm surprised you didn't video the Colosseum and the house where the gladiators train. Maybe make your videos longer. I love watching your vidoes, they are very informative.

[@lilpenny1982]

@@Romewise I remember when I came to Pompeii, it was so dusty. I had to cover my eyes numerous times when I was in the Forum. I also ate lunch inside Pompeii which was so expensive. I should've ate outside but my ticket won't allow me to get back in.

[@lilpenny1982]

@@Romewise I was in Pompeii for about 3-4 hours and then I drove to Amalfi Coast. What a ride that was!! I wished I stayed in Amalfi Coast for a night. I wanted to go up the monastery but I didn't have enough time.
