Full description
Transport yourself back to Roman times on a guided tour of Pompeii led by an archeologist. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site for 2 hours with the help of your expert guide, who will take you around the city preserved by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 AD. Choose the experience you would like to have, with the choice of either a shared small-group tour or a private tour for your and your group alone. Enter the city at Porta Marina Superiore, one of the ancient city’s 7 gates and Walk the main streets and wander around the Forum, the old heart of the city and the center of public life. From here you can see Mount Vesuvius overlooking the city. Discover highlights such as the basilica (business and legal center), thermal baths, temples, bakery and great Theater of Pompeii. Listen to interesting anecdotes from your archeological guide, who will tell you about people who lived in Pompeii. Peek at plaster casts of those who were in the city at the time of the eruption. See well-maintained artworks, mosaics, and frescoes and travel back nearly 2000 years. Highlights include the House of the Vetti and the Lupanar Brothel. Find out how this famous brothel got its name and see its preserved stone beds and frescoes. Get great tips from your guide at the end of the tour about how to spend the rest of your day, or even choose to stay inside the archeological site longer to explore on your own. Get directions to the Sanctuary Dedicated to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, the local cathedral that is located close to the excavation site. You can also get directed to the Amphitheater and Orto dei Fuggiaschi.

Our guide was super friendly and knew a lot about the history of Pompeii, we really liked the activity, the day started raining and maybe that's why there weren't that many people that day, our guide told us that it is usually very crowded, later in the day It opened and we were able to enjoy the place with the sun

The excursion has been magnificent. 3 hours of excursion where they have shown us the key points of Pompeii. We have seen houses, markets, bars, streets... at each stop a story. Our magnificent guide clearly enjoys and is passionate. Thank you!

Great tour. Our guide, (Carolina, not sure if I remembered her name correctly), was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She referenced other places to view for people remaining on site, after the tour. I found this extra info very useful as I stayed on a bit longer after tour ended.
