The whole experience was made easy for us. Transport was fine. The visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum were made even better by the guide we had. I would advise anybody going on the same tour to think about the appropriate clothing and skin care. Still, the heat did not ruin a marvellous day.

    The problem we encountered was that the whole group (30 people) had to wait for the identity of people under 25 (2 people) to be checked, as well as the free ticket for 1 person.
