In the Shadow of Mt Vesuvius

4.00We had a perfect blue sky day for our walking tour or Pompeii. There was a full bus load on the 20 minute ride to Pompeii, but we split up into two separate groups upon arrival ... one English speaking and one Spanish speaking. In January, the crowds were small and the temperature remained below 60F. Our guide was well informed and pointed out many interesting small details throughout the tour. He was a bit difficult to understand due to his Italian accent. Everything happen right on schedule.
Great Tour!

4.00The guided tour of the Pompeii ruins is always worthwhile and it is always interesting to return. Of course you have to do the visit with the guide. It's something else. Special praise to the guide Tommaso, who had the great ability to attract the attention of all of us, even the youngest. Congratulations
