Great escape from Roman heat - Ponza is gorgeous. The water was delicious to swim in. Our guide was excellent. It takes a while to get there but the pay off was worth it.

Amazing Day Trip From Rome - This was the perfect day trip from Rome. My mom and I had the best time. Our guide was so friendly and helpful. We went all around the island of Ponza stopping around five times to swim and explore around the caves. Lunch and wine was delicious too! Would book this again in a heartbeat.

Bad experience. Vebden... - Bad experience. They see a better experience than it is. I didn't like the food. Wine is served to you in a plastic cup. The place is amazing. But the experience itself is more geared towards people aged 20 to 26. I don't recommend it.
