Pompeii and Herculaneum were two of the most powerful places we've visited. To get to witness, firsthand, the beauty of the buildings and the experiences of the peoples' everyday lives, only then to see their skeletons and plaster casts of their bodies, really hits home the tragedy of the disaster in 79 A.D. I am a history teacher by trade, but with every turn of a street or look into a building, I learned something new. In Sorrento, we had a fantastic, relaxing lunch, and only touched the tip of this region's food and delicious culture. Our guides overflowed with enthusiasm, witty jokes, and personalities that made us want to be in their company longer. Their knowledge is truly stunning. We have travelled to other historical, beautiful places in the world, and nothing compares to a private tour. Instead of being "led" to the "next stop," our tours here felt like we were with excited friends who wanted us to see everything that THEY found to be beautiful and exciting - - from perfectly preserved wood that is almost 2000 years old, to capers growing along the sidewalk. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour.
