Everything is perfect. The complicated thing is to go from Pompeii to Herculaneum. Public transport is very complicated and you have to take a cab. There should be a direct transport between the two excavations.

We enjoyed the experience. I believe we could have stayed a full day in the ruins. Recommended for a half day adventure put of Rome by train.

The audio was too low, and we couldn't change it back because when you get tired of hearing it so low, you've made a lot of progress on the course. Put attention points to the clients along the way.

Pompeii was amazing! Highly recommended to visit this site full of history. However, we got scammed by the ticketing officer at Pompeii's entrance. We bought online at Headout a FULL EXPERIENCE voucher (including all the villages) but the ticketing officer redeemed it into an EXPRESS ticket. When we were approaching the villages we were denied entry. So we ended up paying more than what were supposed to. Not happy with this! ☹️

Not a Roman wall, not a building, but a whole city!!!! Wonderful!!!! Unfortunately, only one bathroom open during the route, and only one indoor lunch spot with a mile-long line...we ate outside but it was raining....
