5.00I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot about the history and the event that happened in Pompeia and surrounding area. Thanks to Rubén, who made this trip more fun and also provided a lot of information, to Francesco our fantastic driver and to Teresa our guide in Pompeia which gave us in-depth knowledge about Pompeia, not only about the catastrophe that happened but also the city's customs and culture during the Roman period. Great experience!!
