Full description
On this small group tour, your expert guide will bring to life the ruins of Pompeii and ancient Roman civilisation. This impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases a vivid snapshot of daily Roman life that was destroyed and buried under volcanic ash from the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Maria, one of our local guides, says ‘You’ll see elegant villas decorated with brilliant frescoes and precious mosaics, and get a feel for life as it was lived in ancient Pompeii’.
As you enter the site, you’ll see the sheer scale of what’s been preserved for more than 2,000 years. Walk among the ruins, tracing their cobbled paths until you reach the hub of daily life – the Forum. Look up at the centaur statue, ancient columns and more.
Walking through Pompeii is like leafing through the pages of a living history book. You can almost picture the Romans socialising in the bathing areas. Step into private homes and visit the amphitheatre, one of the oldest surviving in the world.

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.
