Uncrowded splendor - we debated between Pompeii and Herculaneum and think we made the correct choice. We were able to see all of Herculaneum in a half day and still have time for other areas of Naples. Also, my son had been disappointed in Pompeii years ago as all artifacts are in the museum, not on site. Our guide, Riccardo, was both knowledgeable and passionate about the site. The only issue is getting cabs to and from the site is not real easy.
