Wonderfully informative...

Allan_M, Jul 2025

Wonderfully informative with exceptional stories and insights. We loved the ability to visit areas and buildings we were interested in. Dario was an amazing host and educator. If you really want to learn more about Pompeii and Herculaneum he has an incredible depth of knowledge and a passion to share. Even our 2 teenage daughters were captivated, which is hard to do.
