Guide was extremely knowledgeable...background history on Pompeii and picking out small details like the spots to tie up horses and the design of the roads. The weather was extremely challenging ( thunderstorms and rain) and the organiser was very accommodating in allowing us to reschedule after we got lost on the way. Also very good guide dealing with a range of ages and nationalities.
