Do yourself a favor and book this tour. Benedetto was awesome. We were just 4 people and able to see lots more because not waiting for the herd of humans. He spoke directly to us, not through a staticy mic and head phones. He looked in our eyes and spoke to “us”. It was wonderful and worth every dollar. He gave the group transportation options between Pompei and Herculaneum. We had an hour to rest for lunch at Cafe Suisse. The entire journey was 6 hrs. It finishes at Herculanium where we found our own way back to our Hotel. We took the local train, I recommend a taxi.
Our archaeological guide was very competent, providing very interesting and clear explanations about the two sites. The choice of the tour was relevant, especially regarding the selection of locations and their attendance. The exchange with Luca was very easy; in addition to sharing his archaeological knowledge, he had very relevant anecdotes. In short, I recommend it.
Our travel guide was excellent. Would recommend this agency Naplesprit (sp?). Our archeologist was so very knowledgeable and entertaining with bringing the story alive for the whole family. Read the fine print on many of the listings that say “small groups” as we went with this one as it was a max of ten and we had only 6 in our group. Other tours that we saw were not able to asking many questions as they all had earpieces to hear the guide but there was no real interaction. We had a wonderful conversation filled with questions and stories! He even asked some trivia questions to see if anyone had done their homework about the experience (my daughter was all over it)
Benedetto was a marvelous guide. He navigated both Pompeii and Herculaneum so that our group of 8 was never viewing any building with any of the huge tours moving through. He was informative and engaging, both for the adults in the group and for my teenage son. He answered questions readily and clearly. It was a special day.
