Full description
Start your journey by taking a peek at grand buildings, elite residences and shops that line the most important street in Pompeii, Street of Abundance. This bustling walkway leads to the Forum – an enormous piazza and hub of daily Roman life. Snap pictures of the impressive centaur statue and ancient columns. From here, you’ll see the basilica, marketplace and temples dedicated to Apollo, Jupiter and Venus – ask your guide to focus on any particular interests.
Despite being buried under ash for over 2000 years, you can picture the Romans socialising in the bathing areas or cooking at the Thermopolia. ‘These small shops served hot food for the lower classes whose houses rarely had kitchens’, says local guide Francesca. Pompeii’s amphitheatre is definitely something to shout about. It was built to accommodate over 20,000 people and is even older than the Colosseum in Rome. Francesca adds ‘Discovering Pompeii is like leafing through the pages of a history book.’

Reviews
Die Dame, die uns geführt hat, hat die Führung sehr interessant und verständlich gestaltet, wir waren sehr begeistert und beeindruckt.
Only tour I was able to book a few days away. Enjoyed it, it is a must see, there is no doubting this. I do find the price exaggerated, but still glad I did it (I paid 65 euros)
esperienza unica, patrimonio da curare e valorizzare. La guida era preparatissima e molto cordiale. Servizio navetta per i giardini molto efficiente. Sorveglianza al top. Pronti a riprendere turisti maleducati. Unica pecca il bar/buvette dove non sono esposti i prezzi delle consumazioni. Alla mia richiesta dei prezzi dei prodotti erano restii a rispondere ed erano molto scocciati, soprattutto l'addetto alla cassa.
