Miles & Miles

I had always wanted to visit Herculaneum and with a 1 day layover in Rome I went for it. I found Miles & Miles on the internet and although they are expensive, I liked their reviews. I contacted them and they were immediately responsive, warm and informative. They met my wife and I at the hotel, right on time and off we went. The weather was not the best, rainy and a bit cold and when we arrived at Herculaneum it was pouring and no guide in site. But then out of the downpour came Hector and the adventure began. Hector was a so well informed and treated us to insights and history we’d never have had in another venue. Although we’d been on the site for a number of hours, I’d still be there today soaking up (no pun intended) all the history if it could have been possible. But alas, all good things have to end and so we headed back to Rome. Our driver Daniel (sp?) was excellent… very safe and very calm. If I had one complaint, it would be that Daniel didn’t provide any sightseeing commentary on our way to Ercalano (Herculaneum). It is a long trip by car and I’m sure there were many things of interest that we passed without knowing it… the famous Monte Casino being one such place. I hope Miles & Miles will consider including such commentary in the future.
