Marina was informative and engaging. She was mindful of the heat and tailored our tour to meet our needs. We highly recommend a tour with Marina!

We had a 2 hour private tour for my family (two adults, two children). Our tour guide (Valeria) is very knowledgeable and provided the perfect tailored tour to suit our group. Our tour may have been on the hottest day of the year, likely 35 degrees at 9am. But we utilised shade as much as possible. Highly recommend visiting Pompeii with this tour company and if you have young children, 2 hours is ample. Take plenty of water and treats/sweets to keep them (and us!) happy. Great all round tour company with perfect communication.

Full description

Make your own way to the meeting point by the entrance to Pompeii’s archaeological site in time for a 09:00, 12:00 or 14:00 tour (depending on tour option chosen). After meeting your guide, set out on a guided walking tour of the ancient Roman city and marvel over the remarkably preserved ruins.

Learn how the city was buried by the 79 A.D. eruption of the nearby Mount Vesuvius volcano and see ruins that date back to as early as the 7th century B.C. Stand in awe before the world’s oldest surviving Roman site, hear stories of Roman life as you wander the forum and listen as your guide points out the Roman baths, the Termopolium Capuano and the House of the Tragic Poet.

With a tour commentary specially tailored to engage younger participants, the whole family can get involved, and kids will enjoy learning fun trivia and taking part in the tour. Best of all, your skip-the-line access to the archeological site means that the children won’t get bored waiting in the long queues. At the end of the tour, your guide will be happy to recommend nearby restaurants or assist with getting back to your hotel.

  • Pompeii private guided tour suitable for families

This was an amazing tour that my entire family, age 6 to 63, enjoyed. Our guide really helped Pompeii come to life for us. I couldn’t imagine seeing Pompeii any other way! Giada’s enthusiasm for the history was infectious and she patiently answered all of our questions. We appreciated that our guide found shady spots, fountains, and rest points to help keep us cool in the June heat. If you are on the fence over whether to book this tour, just go for it! It was such a great experience for my whole family and we walked away with so much information and appreciation that we could never have gotten by just wandering around the city on our own.
