For those who really want to learn about Pompeii and Herculaneum

Keith_R, Nov 2025
If you want to learn about life in Pompeii and Herculaneum from history to the key things found and learned this is a great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Lallo (probably spelled wrong) was a former archeological student who worked at Herculaneum so he could answer every question. We did this tour when we came back to Italy because years ago we did 44 minutes at Pompeii and it was so fascinating we wanted to learn more. Great tour.
