Hello Just You Travellers.
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mary McCarroll, I am 39 yrs young, I love history, photography and of course traveling the world. I have just signed up for the Pompeii Tour for June 2017. This will be my first time traveling with Just You and I am extremely excited to be joining this wonderful company on this wonderful tour.
I am looking to touch base with fellow travelers who will be taking this tour so I may get to know who I will meet when we are in Pompeii. If you have been on this tour in the past I would love to hear from you as well and hear about your stories and suggestions for excursions and things not to be missed.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone!!!!!
Yours in Travel,
Mary
Hi Mary,
Did the Pompeii trip in first week of September this year.Weather was still pretty hot but bearable.Floppy hat is a must.My second trip with JY-both have been excellent.Now saving for big US trip in 2018!
Pompeii ruins are only 10 minutes walk from hotel.The site is huge but very impressive.Our guide was very knowledgeable.She also did the Herculanaem and Capri excursions.Vesuvius,Amalfi coast and Sorrento trips were brilliant.Glad walk up Vesuvius was mid morning before temperature too hot and before big coaches arrived.Did all the excursions except Capri but had good reports.
Perhaps could revisit Pompeii ruins on another day to cover some of the areas not covered on half-day excursion.
Very easy to make friends on JY holidays.Age range on this trip was 30's to 70's.Hotel next to train station,so can take very cheap trip to Naples if you want.Best not to go alone and be vigilant as some shady characters about-suppose same for most big cities nowadays.
Hotel rooms were very variable in size-mine was huge!Food wasn't particularly great.Think were used to mostly Italian visitors for most of the summer months who visit the nearby cathedral.Staff in hotel are brilliant and always happy to help.
I am sure you will love this holiday.
Regards,
Mike S 🙂
