Although it was a lot of walking we did see some amazing things and we took a live guide as a last minute upgrade. The form of an encased woman who died during the volcanic eruption. Taking the train there was a bit challenging and our friend had his prescription glasses ripped off. We did take a lunch with us that was good. I think in our case an audio guide would have been better as we could take our own pace.
