Pompei is a must visit, large and impressive. But be sure to stop at the restrooms when entering and bring your own Food and drinks (there are free waterpoints) because there is no Food aan beverage other than the restaurant by the station (which has a good kitchen!).

Transportation was prompt-the ride up and down the mountain was harrowing but that's due to the roads. The "4" is because there wasn't a guide and there wasn't enough time for a guide anyway. You had 25 minutes to get up the mountain, 20 minutes at the peak, and 25 minutes to get back down and you got back on the bus.

No guide or audioguide provided. Time on site could have been longer, so we had to hurry in order to complete the tour.Laurence
