The tour with Susie went extremely well. The 2-hour duration was ideal: it allowed us to understand what happened in 79 and why the site is so well preserved today. We were able to see some key sites in the city, with an immersion in their life in the past. (Main buildings: domus, thermal baths, forum, etc.). Of course, this doesn't allow us to see the city in its entirety, it's too big! But at the end of the tour, Susie suggests some other key places that we can see if we want to continue the tour 😊. This tour was an opportunity to meet a guide who is passionate about her job, sunny, and who wanted to share her knowledge with us. Susie was very pleasant to listen to and we particularly appreciated her touches of humor and little tips. Thanks again!! 🙏
