Tour was fantastic and our guide Alessandra was amazing, very informative and knowledgeable. My only gripe about it was it was described as a half day and we expected to get back to resort and have lunch but we had a lunch stop included in the tour at Pompeii (optional or could go elsewhere) which was a very reasonable €20 for 3 courses and a drink in a lovely air conditioned restaurant but this should have been explained in the small print. Would also have liked to have seen the amphitheatre.
More than a moment frozen in time, Pompeii is a window into the past. On this morning excursion, you'll discover Pompeii's remarkably well-preserved houses and landmark sites that have made it a UNESCO Word Heritage Site.
Buried under volcanic ash by the catastrophic 79 AD eruption of Mt Vesuvius – which still looms large in the distance – Pompeii brings to life ancient Rome. Tread cobbled streets brought to life by a guided commentary through headsets.
All the major highlights here are covered – the gladiator barracks, thermal baths, and the market piazzas. You can still see frescoes on the walls of the homes of the Roman elite.
