4.00Great trip exploring Pompeii and Mt Vesuvio. We beat the crowds in the morning and got a great introduction to Pompeii. Our guide Nello and Mimi ( for Pompeii) were very knowledgable and passionate about the history. The visit to Mt Vesuvio was as expected. The hike was easy and the views of Naples and the crater were stunning
