Notice guided tour Pompeii 2 h

An excellent French guide from Montpellier whose first name I do not remember, I think it is cindy? For 2 hours we drive around Pompeii with historical, archaeological explanations it was exciting for all ages. We were with our family with our 22 and 25 year old children who also enjoyed it very much. I strongly advise! We took the €3.8 train Naples to Pompeii in 40 mins very convenient

A blast from the past!

Walking through the thistles and decumani of Pompeii makes you experience living for a few hours in the history of ancient Rome. Surely the visit with the guide makes the difference: with us there was Camillo Sorrentino, who we highly recommend, a trained and helpful archaeologist who, due to the short time, illustrated a small part of the big city, describing the environments that characterized the life of the city. Among the things we have seen, significant casts of some of the people found during the excavations, wonderful the 'Casa dei Vetii' and its frescoes and the small theater still original.
