Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum WITH A GUIDE is a must. Our guide at Pompeii was an archeologist and was wonderful. When we go to Herculaneum, a guide was not included. We hired our own private guide once there at an extra cost. He was an archeologist as well. Herculaneum was AWESOME. Once done with both tours, we wish we had more time to explore the rest of the area, but it was not on the itinerary. With this booking, you will note they had suggested places to be picked up. The day before the trip we were called to cancel because Herculaneum was closed. We rescheduled for a different day without issue. They picked us up at our hotel. The same driver buys the tickets and sends you off with the guide. Then he drives you to Herculaneum. The ride back was uneventful except that we could not get back to our hotel in the historic district of Rome until after 6:00. We ended up walking 0.9 miles back to our hotel. This was unfortunate. We could have sat down for lunch instead of getting it to go, or stayed in Pompeii longer. It’s HUGE. The overall cost of going to do this yourself with the train from Rome vs a private driver is higher. But then we didn’t have to worry about transfers and it was very convenient. I would do it again.
