Full description

Journey back in time on a memorable trip and witness the unparalleled ancient ruins of Pompeii, a city immortalised by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Not your typical highlights tour, this is an in-depth experience, a meticulously crafted, four-hour odyssey through one of the most incredible archaeological treasures in the world.

Unlike conventional excursions, this exclusive experience grants you an extended, four-hour immersion into the heart of Pompeii. Visit the highlights and then delve beyond the beaten paths, uncovering the city's hidden courtyards and lesser-known sanctuaries such as: House of Vettii, House of Mysteries, Thermal Baths, the Plaster Casts and much more!
Our expert archaeologist will be your guide, illuminating the remarkably preserved streets, villas, and public spaces, and breathing life into the poignant narratives of a civilization frozen in time by the tragic eruption of 79 AD.

Halfway through your visit, we will have an included lunch for you in an air-conditioned restaurant located inside the archeological park, ideal to recharge before continuing the second half of the tour.

After lunch you’ll continue exploring with our archaeologist by your side, focusing on the intimate details of daily life in this ancient Roman city and hearing the stories etched into its very stones.

This is more than a trip, it's a pilgrimage into the heart of history, which we hope it will leave indelible memories of a day spent immersed in the extraordinary legacy of Pompeii.
