They have 3 in display in sealed glass cases)”

“We were fortunate to travel to Pompei from Rome on Trenitalia high speed train direct with no stops. This train is not a regular line so this was a bonus. Our archeological guide was Vincenzo and he was wonderful. Vincenzo was so knowledgable about the region and the history, as you would expect, and was very humorous as well! His humor really made the tour very enjoyable. We would highly recommend Vincenzo.”

“Our tour guy was wonderful. It was a very, very hot day, and she made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand while she explained things. She was also considerate of the other groups and not standing in front of things to explain them, but off to the side, so others could see the exhibits. She was very knowledgeable and kind and I would take a tour with her anytime.”
