Worth it!

Pompeii was amazing, our guide Mario was great and informative. Learned plenty about the city and why it is so important historically. Our organizer Josefina and driver Danilo were also super kind and helpful. The only minor hiccup was finding the right team since the pickup locations have lots of different tours all leaving at the same time. But we got there in the end and it was totally worth it.
