Transfer to Pompeii to explore one of the most fascinating places of Naples environs under the narration by a professional guide. In roman time Pompei was a rich and populated town, full of private and public buildings. On a summer's day in 79 A.D, the entire town and around 20.000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice because of a violent explosion of Mt Vesuvius. A shower of very fine ash was deposited everywhere to a depth of more than six meters, enveloping everything and adhering to the forms of the bodies and of their clothes. Almost 2.000 years later, you have the opportunity to discover the everyday life of the Imperial Age and imagine the panic of the people before the city was so disastrously buried. In two walking tour, your guide will show you fascinating places such as The Forum, Thermal Baths, Lupanare and Vetti's House with it's beautiful frescos. After the visit brief stop for lunch with pizza&drink.

Very good day

Elisa is a very good guide who showed us around Naples. After on Pompeii we had maria who knows the site very well and gave us good explanations. The meal consists of a daisy pizza and a drink and is done in 40 minutes. Sorrento is a very beautiful city to visit.

Outstanding

Elisa was an outstanding and entertaining guide, sharing her knowledge so articulately. Although a full day, it was broken into great parts and the communication for transport was very clear.

Cats of Pompeii with Alyssa

We started the tour by being the only two people with our guide, Alyssa, and our driver, Mimo. She was very informative and obviously loves what she does. She gave us recommendations of places to eat and see for the next day. When we got to Pompeii, we were joined by a larger group and her professionalism continued. She had good banter with all of the group and made us all feel included. I loved that she had treats for the cats in Pompeii! Thank you Alyssa for a lovely tour. Thank Mimo for keeping us safe, especially on the very rainy and busy roads.
