Pompeii Day Tour with Skip-the-Line Access

Your tour begins when your local English-speaking guide meets you at a pre-arranged point. You will benefit from skip-the-line access to Pompeii's attractions, so you can make the most of your day exploring sites such as the theater, the Forum, the Odeon, the gladiators' barracks, the thermal baths and of course the famous 'red light district'. Since March 2016, additional attractions for visitors have been accessible, including the domus: the houses of Roman aristocrats. With incredible mosaics, frescoes, statues of mythical gods and wonderful gardens and landscapes these dwellings further enrich the already breathtaking excavations at Pompeii. With a magnificent columned courtyard and the well-known painting The Birth of Venus, the domus of Venus is not to be missed. The House of Octavius Quartius features Narcissus falling in love with his own image, symbolic of men’s vanity. Frescoes showing a variety of vegetation are a feature of The House of the Fruit Trees. Your guide will make this a truly remarkable day – living, breathing and discovering Pompeii in all of its glory.
