Don't be anxious - you will have a fantastic time! I've done this tour before with both JY and Travelshere and am doing the Travelsphere version again in June.

My top tips would be:

• Even in May, the Bay of Naples is likely to be extremely hot (and there is little shade on the Pompeii site itself). Take a brimmed hat, comfortable walking shoes with closed toes and a water bottle to ensure you remain hydrated. I would also recommend a rechargable neck fan which you can get from Amazon for about £24. They last for hours on one charge - enough for a whole day walking round - and are very quiet. I was the envy of my group last time I was there in 2023!

• Take plenty of sunscreen and mozzi repellant (Jungle formula or similar)

• The Hotel Palma where you will be staying is family run and in the centre of modern Pompeii. It's next to the cathedral square and a station for the Circumvesuviana train if you want to explore in your free time. But, if taking the train, watch your bags and jewellery - there are pickpockets about.

• If you do an excursion to Capri and are not bothered by heights - have a ride on the chair lift up to Monte Solaro from Ana Capri - it's about 14Euro return and the views are incredible. 

• In between the hotel and the archeological site of Pompeii, you will find the Pasticceria De Vivo. If you like gelatto or pastries, you will want more than one visit - trust me :-)

Happy to help if you have any other questions
