You can read on for more about the why but just trust me that if you've been to Rome or not at some point you'll be sick of the tourists, the traffic, the touts. That's the moment to go on this tour. Maybe 45 minutes in total to get there (So the same as you do getting around the city each day) and you will be in an empty oasis dripping with history! I'm no archaeologist but this place is amazing. It's a whole town that with the help of your guide will be brought to life with facts, anecdotes and props. You won't tire of exploring the whole town and will love the company. The place itself is poorly developed for Tourism in that there's one set of bathrooms at the start (so pass there!), no where to buy a drink but forget all that and lap up the fact you will see, touch and breathe Roman history without having to see, touch and breathe other tourists who are on top of you. First class tour. And we went to Pompeii...this is better, it's just the hordes of tourists would have you believe otherwise! Enjoy what was a great tour and a great discovery for me.
