Well worth the tour guide. So much information that you would not read in a book. Highly recommend it
A walk throughout historic Pompeii. So much history. Our guide was excellent! Lots of information without being boring
The contractor Viator used left us at Naples Train station. Our train was delayed 30 mins. and the meet up left after 10 mins. We had to purchase our own train fair to and from Pompeii. I have not been credited my cost. I had already paid for transportation to and from Pompeii.
Perfectly done with all of the logistics! My son (11) absolutely loved Pompeii - the train and the shuttle to/from Pompeii was really easy. Really glad we did it
