Herculaneum is amazing and Laurie very knowledgeable. Ear phone was a challenge to hear with unless I pressed on it. Also, she would begin explaining things before we all got to where she was at due to lots of tourists. Felt like pick up was a little disorganized and getting to lunch was confusing. Where and who we were to go with..

Luigi picked me up at Hotel right on time. Drove me to the restaurant with others to meet more people for a lunch. That’s where it got confusing. The lunch was very good but then another driver showed up to take me to Herculaneum, not Luigi. Ok all good but this nice driver Amedeo didn’t speak English. There was 2 of us on board out of 5 who didn’t understand anything he said the whole time. And he talked a lot! He loves his city of Naples but we two couldn’t benefit from his information at all. Except when he showed us pictures on his phone while driving. So he was a ride not a guide to us.

I booked this tour after returning to the States after seeing Pompeii and having friends tell me I should've seen Ercolano instead. Of course, seeing both would be ideal, but Ercolano is better-preserved, less crowded, and closer to Napoli. The logistics of the tour were well-done and even the lunch stop was excellent. Silvana, our guide, was very knowledgeable and I liked how she asked questions to make us think, rather than just reciting from a script.
