Prepare for the activity
Meet the guide at the main entrance of Pompei Ruins, called Porta Marina Superiore. The guide will wait by the gate, just in front of the bar-restaurant Hortus with a lot of lemons and oranges hanging outside. The guide will have a sign with the local partner's name written on it. The meeting point is just few steps away the Circumvesuviana train station Pompei-Villa dei Misteri.
