The sites are much more enjoyable with someone helping to explain and tell about the sites. Alfredo did and excellent job and made sure we saw many of the important points. Just remember it would take days to literally see all of Pompeii so going past certain places should be expected as you just can’t see it all unless you do want to spend days. But as with most things , 3 or 4 hours is enough. Herculean, smaller but was just as impressive, was a nice end of the day after lunch. Incredibly preserved ruins.

I dont remember the name of the guide (sorry), but he was amazing. It was really informative and he made it interesting. Its clear that he enjoy his job!

Luciano Leone was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, engaging, I could have spent all day listening to him!

Herculaneum is definitely worth it. It's different from Pompeii despite having the same background.

Absolute brilliant guide Luciano Leone, very passionate and enthusiastic and very knowledgable
