You should go to pompeii is incredible how preserved some of the city is
Herculaneum is smaller and less known, but only half an hour away and even better preserved. With proper planning you can visit both sites on the same day.
The first time I visited a tour guide screamed at some teenagers doing TikTok dances in the middle of the road and the second time I saw a tour guide scold a woman letting her kid play in one of the functioning water fountains.
Good for those tour guides, it sounds like they really respect their town and don't want it to degrade into generic tourist slop. It's good to have standards of decorum and behavior and to enforce them.
Good on those tour guides imo.
Sounds like some tourists don't understand the concept of respect
Also the only place I've been where you can see archeologists at work enthusiastically uncovering new artifacts right in front of you.
If you go to Pompeii the keyword on google maps is “Fugitives” had a hard time finding them on such a archeological site.
