La visite guidée ne durant que 2h, cela laisse largement assez de temps ensuite pour déambuler dans la ville. Mon seul regret est de ne pas pouvoir choisir le type de billet compris dans la visite car celui-ci inclu (Pompéi Express) ne permet pas de visiter certaines maisons autours de la ville :)”
