4.7 / 5Private Pompeii and Fascinating Herculaneum
One of the BEST tours ever!
December 10, 2016
As this was our 4th visit to Pompeii we wanted to also see Herculaneum so decided to spend extra money and do this tour. And how glad we are we did. We were picked up promptly at the pier in a nice car with a great driver and our guide Mario. We can't say enough good things about Mario as he was not only educated as a classical archaeologist but also had done ""digs"" at these sites. The insights he gave us about the life in these cities made it all so much more real. He also knew how to avoid the crowds but still see the most important ruins. My husband and I will always remember this as one of the best tours we've done.

This was our 4th time to visit Pompeii so this time we decided to do a private tour that included Herculaneum. We were picked up promptly at the pier in a car and introduced to our guide, Mario. Mario spoke excellent English and even more important was able to provide us a picture of how life was in these cities before they were devastated. Mario has his degree in Classical Archaeology and had done actual ""digs"" at these sites which allowed him to provide even mole insights and a way to see these sights up close by avoiding the crowds. And lunch was excellent Yes, it costs more but worth every extra dollar. My husband and I will never forget this tour.
