One of the best tours we've taken...
<p>One of the best tours we've taken thus far. Our tour guide was Pia hope I spelled that right, and she's outstanding! Not only did she provide us with a great tour, but she also has some excellent tips for our follow-on visit to Pompeii. This is a great way to see Herculaneum.<br/> Tip: The address which is provided as the meeting point takes you to the old front entrance on Via Mare. Don't go there! There's actually an expansive parking lot off Via Plinio, and a short walk to the ticket sales.</p>
