Would have liked more than 1.5 hours at Pompeii, as it's such a large place, and it felt quite rushed, but also understand that it's a long day from Rome fitting everything in. Disappointed we could not go up to the cone of Vesuvius, due to the weather, but we will be back! All in all would recommend the tour operator, and of you want to see Pompeii properly, you need toto book a day trip that focuses solely on that.”
