Visiting Pompeii was the one time I regretted booking a tour. The guide took us in the direction they wanted us to go, not necessarily the most interesting parts. Considering the length of the your we actually saw very little

I was lucky enough to visit Pompeii (3 days) and Herculaneum (1 day) last summer! As a solo traveler who’s main goal was to see the archaeological sites and see what life was like for southern Italians, staying in Pompei was awesome. The single rooms at Hotel Visagi were about $40 USD a night for a very comfortable room and friendly hotel, and it was about a 30 minute walk to Pompeii. I’ll admit the walk is not accessible or straightforward, but for a young person who loves walking and exploring it was a fun way to get around and see the beautiful landscape

My boyfriend loved visiting Pompeii! I also love seeing your wife and kids give a few "don't's", so glad they did in this video! Always fun hearing from everyone! Can't wait to see what the next don't's video is!

We have been to Pompeii 2x. The 1st time, my husband & I did it on our own and really enjoyed wandering around. 2nd time we were with family, and the 8 of us decided to get a guide when we got there. She was great, and we learned so much more than when we did it on our own. It really depends what you want to get out of it. I would advise doing some research before visiting, so that you know and understand what you are seeing. We speak highly of our visits to Pompeii. We took the train from Naples the 1st time to Sorrento, then stopped in Pompeii on the way back. Train is very easy to take. Great video with some great advice. - Coreen

I visited Pompéi last week for the first time !
I spent 4 hours there. Not enough to see everything…
It’s a so beautiful and fascinating place… 😍

In my next life I want to come back as Wolter, lol. How blessed you and your family are to travel the world!

Oh, you are so right about the walking! You mustn’t forget, it is a city- a whole town you’re covering. But so worth it, with a bit of preparation. That’s why YouTube videos are so helpful- and it extends your holiday, before and after!

Excellent video with extensive helpful information. Thank you for making our visit easier to plan.

You did an awesome job on providing important information before going to Pompeii. I find it very helpful. It will be the first time visiting Italy and I can't wait to visit Pompeii. Thank you very much!

[dhmoss]

I’ve watched your son grow up in these videos! It’s great to see him get involved in them too! Good job!

Going to Naples, Pompei and the Amalfi Coast in early November to avoid the crowd and heat. Thank you for the tips about Herculaneum and the archeological museum!

Thank you for the input about accessibility! So often, travel videos make no mention of it. I'm a wheelchair user and although I have no plans to travel any time soon, I "travel" vicariously through your videos and others. If you're ever looking for a collab idea, partnering up with an experienced disabled traveler might be a good one 😉

In all fairness, we didn’t go to Pompeii.. but, the Herculaneum felt like a very authentic Italian experience. Almost no tourists, there were field trips of school children, Ercalano (?) was a nice chill city. Had a great time!

TRAIN- from Naples take the TrenItalia run to Pompeii. It's like 2-3 Euros more and hugs the Bay of Naples- it's absolutely stunning!!! Then you can easily walk to the Amphitheater entrance or a cheap 1-2 euro bus shuttle. You also get A/C.

[benburrowes]

Thank you for the guide. Its was very helpful for our visit ☺️

[jenniferalbert]

LOVE this. I desperately want to see the murals at the Villa of the Mysteries. And Jocelyn laying down the law about eating (!!) and PICKING THINGS UP was amazing 🥰

[Latexhandske]

Don`t think that Pink Floyd is the houseband in Pompeii 😄
Do mind, DON`T steal or take things with you! Treat Pompeii like a rainforest.
The only things you kill - is time.
The only things you take - is pictures.
The only things you leave - is footprints.
Thanks for this video La Familia 💗

We were fortunate to have gone this summer❤. Beautiful, historical, grand.

Regarding water: We needed a bottle of H20 and upon receiving it, decided to open it up on the spot due to thirst😊. Lucky we did, bc the water bottle was already opened!! So I’d like to caution travelers to open the bottle right in front of the store owner/staff if possible before leaving the establishment.

As Mark said, don't forget to visit Herculaneum. It's hard for me to say whether I prefered Pompeii or Herculaneum; both were great.
