Highlight was Pompei, absolutely brilliant! Very good local guide brought everything to life. Generally, a good chance to see a lot of places along Italy, a taster of what there was to see.

I loved Venice, so this trip gave me some idea of where I should stay and what to do in future visits. I enjoyed the pasta making in Bologna, much easier than I thought it would be. I enjoyed Naples, the walk up Vesuvius and the visit to Pompei
