How to begin describing such a fabulous place! It is all worthwhile and this for a minimum of at least a FULL day. Watch out for sleazy site employees who 'moonlight' by offering guided tours for only 50 Euros for and hour and finally only show you their small section of the site because they are afraid of getting caught...

There is so much to be seen here (one could easily spend a whole day inside), so rich in story and the landscape is quite amazing too! They have done an excellent job in recovering the ruins a lot of them are intact others reconstructed, one thing is certain, you will be surprised how big the whole place is. Be... More

It is mind boggling to know that you are walking in the ancient streets of Pompeii. The site is quite large and comfortable shoes should be worn. It is essential to go with a guide and a lot of information is provided this way. Avoid going in August as it is extremely hot!

You will be so happy that you allowed time to visit this gem. I have been fascinated with Pompeii since I was a little girl so I was thrilled to see it! You can almost feel yourself stepping back in time as you walk the streets.

Many old ruins of places ,give no idea of the conditions of the era. Pompeii is amazing, massive buildings, street organisation, order for traders, unfortunate slaves,living areas, even red light district.Essential to have a guide.

We hadn't brought any guidebooks or maps with us so this lack of information had a negative effect on our visit. Still, having a... More
