## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- 'Climbing Vesuvius' on a day trip is not a summit trek: vehicles drive to about 1,000 m and the walk to the crater rim is short but steep.
- Two hours in Pompeii (the norm on combined tours) covers only the main highlights of a very large site.
- Under-18s enter Pompeii free, but tours still charge child rates because they cover transport, guiding and lunch.
- The Vesuvius crater ticket is not sold at the mountain; it is online only.
