Was a very good tour. No... - Was a very good tour. No need to pay extra to get into the sights like others do, so all round worth the money!

compressed but still comperhensive day! - The mountain, what else? And Herculaneum, off-course! That was my 2nd visit to the Pompei site, it was well worth it I liked the 3 sites schedule & if you dont have a car do this! Be sure to load up on some knowledge on what you are about to see though, It is self guided!

A full day of discoveries - Going up the Vésuve was a great challenge but rewarding. Herculaneum and Pompei are great learning experience.

Big sites from Naples - Doing all 3 big sites was great to get them all done. Climbing Vesuvio first was best way to go, too strenuous and hot later in day. Covered most of Herculenium in 2 hours given but the 2.5 for Pompeii was too short. I would probably do Vesuvio and Herculaneum one day and allow a full day for Pompeii if we come back.
