The traffic through Naples really took away from the experience. Best to cut out that part, it was not enjoyable. We did not choose the restaurant or guide option in Pompeii, and very thankful because we had 4 hours to explore the site ourselves. We brought our own snacks for a lunch and ate in the forum area, very pleasant and relaxing. Get a map at the entrance and Be sure to find your way to the tower look out and the theatre - both highlights of the site.

On avait pas pris de guide sur place, mais le plan était largement suffisant! Pour les 4 heures qui nous avions sur place il a fallu faire un choix pour voir les choses les plus interessantes et il y en a!!! on a optimisé! c'est vraiment un endroit unique et je pense que l'on ne peut etre déçu de ce site exceptionnel!

The tour of Pompeii was amazing, not sure that we needed to join up with this specific tour to enjoy it as we elected to explore on our own. What I didn’t like is that the tour guide specifically singled out 6 people, us included, that did not elect to participate in the guided tour and group lunch. The guide made us feel like 2nd class citizens and even stopped the bus to let us out as we weren’t continuing on with “their” tour. This could have been handled much more professionally in our opinion. Pompeii was absolutely amazing though in spite of this negativity.
