5.0Great tour! Our guide Paolo was very knowledgeable and made it a great experience. Good option if you just have a single day to see both Pompeii and Herculaneum. Saw the main sites of both, though was wishing for even more time in Pompeii - an excuse to go back!
Very good

5.0This was a very good tour. I enjoyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. Herculaneum was my favorite. The skeletons at the end were interesting to see. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Transportation came with the purchase of this tour, which was nice. The train ride from Pompeii to Herculaneum was very fast and a simple walk. Definitely a good time learning the history.
Great Experience
