Pompeii's sheer scale is immense and on our guided tour you will be able to imagine what life was like before Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, smothering the town and its inhabitants in hot ash. As we wander through the streets, we'll see villas decorated with frescos and brightly coloured mosaics, the remarkable Roman baths and spectacular amphitheatre.

Great holiday, always wanted to see Pompeii and He

Great holiday, always wanted to see Pompeii and Herculaneum and they didn't disappoint. The Amalfi coast was gorgeous. If I was to be asked if I would recommend this holiday I would say yes but to wait until the weather is a bit warmer. I went too early in the season. Just You holidays are expensive holidays but you get what you pay for. You get the rep. the coach and driver and local guides where required. All the top things to see have been researched and tested for you so you know you are going to see what are the main sites without having to do the research yourself
