Pompeii Private Full-Day Tour from Rome

Pompeii Private Full-Day Tour from Rome

One of the most stunning archaeological sites on the Italian peninsula, Pompeii is also one of the most visited sites in the world. The ruins of the Greco Roman city are a veritable open-air museum, where visitors can walk through the city that remained buried in ash for hundreds of years. It sits under the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted in the last 100 years, and is as fascinating as it is mysterious. With its perfect stone-paved streets, houses, temples, Forum, and theaters, it provides you with an almost complete picture of what was once a thriving Roman city. Buried under a thick blanket of ash, the ancient city was destroyed by the sudden eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D., fossilizing thousands of citizens in less than 24 hours. For almost 2,000 years it remained hidden from the modern world, and it was only in 1748 that it was slowly recovered, thanks to the excavation campaign of Charles of Bourbon, the King of 2 Sicilies. You will experience Pompeii much as it existed in ancient times. The devastating volcanic eruption dramatically suspended the city as it was going about its daily business. Stroll through the Forum, The House of the Faun, Il Lupanare, and the Teatro Grande, and discover this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site for yourself.

Our guide Monica was very kind, professional and able to convey many interesting notions arousing our interest. The possibility of moving by golf cart is priceless if supported by the presence of a person able to make the travel experience unforgettable. Excellent organization of My Best Tour and Mrs. Karina.

Our guide was excellent! They were able to take us to most of the main attractions and a couple of very interesting 16th century church… The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of all the structures and architecture! I highly recommend them and would use them in future!

Loved the private tour, being able to hear about the culture and the history, and the fact that we could customize to our preference. Great way to see the city.
