Best Kept Secret - This day trip to Ponza & Palmaroia was the perfect way to end our trip. After visiting all the amazing historical landmarks it was nice to relax and see other parts of Italy. Mike really made this trip run smoothly.

Best kept secret for a Roman vacation! - This tour is the best kept secret in Rome! After days of sightseeing, history, art, and miles of walking, our family was treated to a day with Michele and the beautiful coast. We swam in the perfect waters of the Mediterranean, witnessed the beauty of Ponza and Palmarola, and enjoyed great company. This was a perfect solution to see the coast when we didn't have days to travel, and Michele takes care of all the logistics. I loved that this is where the Romans vacation - it made the experience even more special!

Terrific guided tour of Ponza and Palmarola - We had the most delightful day trip to Ponza and Palmarola. Michele is a terrific guide - helped us get everywhere we needed with ease, and shared many things about the greater Rome area, Ponza and Palmarola that made the experience more fulfilling. He treated us like good friends he was hosting for an island day trip - he was a warm and engaging host. I highly recommend booking a tour with Michele and his team. We will definitely do so again when we return to Rome.

Must do! - Ponza is spectacular; the water is pristine and the landscape is unique. This was the most memorable excursion we took from Rome! We traveled as a family of 4 (2 adults and kids ages 11 and 8), and this was a perfect way to escape after 9 days of sightseeing. We spent 5+ hours moving around Ponza relaxing and swimming in the sea. The kids had a blast and enjoyed jumping off the top deck of the boat. Michele was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He took care of everything - transpiration to/from Anzio, ferry to/from Ponza, boat transportation while in Ponza. He knows the island VERY well, and more importantly, the locals and boaters know him. Michele gave us recommendations for getting a quick breakfast before boarding the ferry. Having Michele navigate this trip made it more enjoyable and relaxing for us! He found ways to keep our kids engaged in the trip but also would share his knowledge of the area with us. Our daughter especially enjoyed getting to drive the boat with the captain, thanks to Michele for helping to organize that.

AMAZING TRIP! - Amazing! Hands down one of the most memorable days of my life! Michele was fantastic! My husband and I felt like we were hanging out with a good friend who was showing us his favourite spot! Perfect trip for families or couples — can’t say enough about this 10 out of 10 experience!

Ponza with Michele - Ponza was the perfect day trip from a too hot Rome. For the kids, it was also a welcome break from sight seeing ruins and old world sights. Highly recommend! A tour guide could not be more friendly than Michele. He was a prompt communicator and in person. He did everything in his power to meet our group's needs, we had 5 adults and 5 kids from ages 8-14. There may be some things out of his control such as boat you get and how long you spend at each stop. We are a critical group and I am 100% sure that Michele will go to great lengths to advocate for the group he is hosting. From the ride from Rome, to the Ferry, to the boat excursion. Michele is honest and a gentleman. He is professional and courteous. Thank you Michele for a special and memorable day! Ponza was the highlight of our 5 day stay in Rome.

OUTSTANDING TOUR..5 STAR!!! - My family and I wanted to have a day outside the Roman city, and wanted some fun in the sun. We had the absolute pleasure to take the day trip to Ponza with Itertours. A well organized, detailed oriented day! The experience from the moment Michele met us at our meeting point was nothing short from the very best. Michele made sure our drive to Anzio was comfortable, the ferry ride to Ponza was arranged, and the highlight of the day, the six hour cruising with swimming, diving and eating around Ponza and Palmarola was an experience we would want to write home about! The setting was something out of paradise, and the waters were cool, and refreshing. The kids also enjoyed jumping off the side of the boat, and being adventurous. Both adults and kids alike enjoyed the onboard lunch of Pasta. After our wonderful day, we again did not have to think about a thing as Michele took care of everything for us. Michele is knowledgeable, gave us fun facts and info throughout the day and made great conversation with us. Should I find myself in Rome again, I will without a doubt book Itertours, and Michele with confidence knowing I am getting the best of the best! Thank you again for one of our Top Ten Family Days EVER!

Awesome trips! - We did the Ponza day trip and the crypt/catacombs with Mike/Michele and they were both fantastic experiences and highlights of our trip! Mike is a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide and has a strong talent for balancing information and entertainment while keeping even the younger ones tuned in. Book and you won’t regret!

Full day boat trip - We booked this for our first vacation in Italy. Luckily Michele was friendly and full of information but was not overbearing. Our group was small, which was good because he was able to communicate with us all without either families feeling ignored. He speaks English very well and Italian so it was great to hear him relay information from the boat captain. He is also friendly and relaxed. Someone you wouldn’t mind talking to if you ran into him at a local restaurant. I also needed to buy some towels once we arrived to Ponza and he was able to negotiate price for me. The boat did not stop for very long in either place but I wish we could spend more time at two locations and especially the shipwreck beach. Three beaches didn’t provide enough time to relax and enjoy. Overall we would do this again and I would be open to Michele’s other tours.

Amazing day trip to Ponza - Couldn’t recommend this tour more! Great day trip from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Michele was an amazing tour guide. Punctual, informative and all round great guide. Provides seamless transfer to and from Rome. Would definitely book again next time I am in Rome! Thanks again mate
