Loved being picked up and transfered by private taxi from one site to the other. It was raining when we arrived at Versuvius and the taxi driver leant me his umbrella which was really appreciated. Would have liked a little bit more time, had to turn round to get to the bottom before I would have liked. Hubby was happy with timings. Lunch was 3 course and meant we didnt eat again !!! Pompeii was amazing, tour guide was full of into and personal earphones was great to save straining and missing details. Two hours was a bit rushed for me....wish we had free time after the tour to explore. Hubby was quite happy. Jumping into an air conditioned taxi to go home after all that walking was worth the price.
Def glad we visited this way as the taxi seemed to take us higher up Versuvius than the coaches etc ?? And was stress free getting from one site to the other .
However, I would have prefered a lighter lunch and more time at each site.
