Pompeii and Herculaneum: well worth seeing! Unfortunately, 1.5 hours is not enough for Pompeii; it was also a pity that you don't have time to explore these historical sites on your own - even if only for 20 minutes. Sites to explore. The lunch break in a modern shopping mall was also completely unnecessary.

Our tour guide Gennaro was excellent and made the day an easy and memorable experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the history of the historical sites was excellent and maintained throughout the day. Gennaro answered everyone's questions and was truly professional. He really bought the sites to life!

Vincenzo was really interesting and passionate, it was really interesting! I recommend the most the combo Pompei+Herculanum, it was worth it!
