I always wanted to go to Pompeii and it didn't disappoint. Allow a full day here. Don't skimp on time. Make sure you pay a little extra and get the headphones to know what you are looking at. Enjoy the history, enjoy the atmosphere an incredible place which should be on everyone's wish list. more

Pompeii was a good take in. It's remarkable how well some of the ruins were preserved. We used the audio tour that the site offered. It was almost a little too informative. If you listened to every single recording you would be there forever. I would recommend picking out key sites within Pompeii and just listening to those recordings if... more

The guide will point out the important things and let you bypass those things of little relevance. Also, you get some... more

Drobe our rental car from Sorrento to Pompeii even though all travel sites and blogs advised to take train and avoid expensive parking spots. Found many empty spots on the streets surrounding the grounds of Pompeei and just near the Basilica nearby to walk to after. It was one euro per hour and give yourself at least 4-1/2 hours -... more
