We took a day trip from Rome with stop in Sorrento plus a Lemoncello distillery, before we enjoy Pompeji site.
What an experience to see, and such good guides. Do yourself the favour and go see it, a trip back in the past.
Pompeii waoh! We certainly felt the hand of history on our shoulders while visiting this amazing site.
Three hours of walking on a hot summer day. Grateful to our guide Desiree for leading the way, mapping out a comprehensive tour that included everything worth seeing.
Stunning architecture, marvellous ruins, enjoyed stepping into the houses and shops from two thousand years ago.
Immaculately preserved and restored by experts.
Expensive admission pricing!
This place is incredible.
Walking down the streets and going into the houses of the people alive at the time and looking at the decorations on the walls that they looked at is an amazing experience and very moving.
Go early (in summer especially) and get a guided tour.
For me it was a big disappointment to realize that big statues which you can see online are not actually there. The others were tiny. Expectations vs reality kind of thing. To watch ruins at +40 it’s really not worth it.
