Our guide who was the same for Pompeii was brilliant at accentuating the differences between these 2 sites. Once again we had a most informative and enjoyable tour. The food tour of Naples was a " Tour de force". Our highly cultured, witty and informative guide gave us a true flavour of Naples, both through food and history.
