Accessible Pompeii?

Hi, all. I'd love to hear experiences with any accessible Pompeii tours. My mom and I are cruising on Celebrity in July, and will visit Naples. She can walk, but uneven terrain -- like ANCIENT COBBLESTONES -- are a problem for her. Are the accessible tours truly accessible as far as walking goes? Or, are there places where she can sit out certain parts of the tour that might not be fully doable without missing too much? (She's not interested in a wheelchair for various reasons.)

 

Please share your experiences. I'd love for her not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime site. Thanks.

A wheelchair is only usable on the Pompei for All access route.  This is not the typical tour itinerary (you can download the map here:  Pompeii for all - Pompeii Sites).

 

The regular tours are not appropriate for anyone with walking issues, I have seen some nasty falls from tripping on the stones.

 

Perhaps one of the canes that opens to a chair would make visits more possible for her?
