Itinerary
See Pompeii’s ancient piazza and Forum, where business dealings, elections, speeches and processions would have played out during Roman times. Wander the site, marvel at the ancient limestone columns still standing today and capture the centuries-old scenery on camera. Continue onward with your guide to the thermal baths, where many of the townsfolk would have bathed, chatted and lived out their daily lives before the eruption. Wander down Via degli Augustali and discover the Lupanare, Pompeii’s brothel. A 2-storey building with five rooms on each floor, the Lupanare is decorated with some of the city’s most lustful frescoes. Your exact route will depend on the crowds and weather conditions.

Traveler reviews
Good Tour on a hot day
The guide at the Pompeiii site was very good. It was a very hot day so a bit uncomfortable. We have done a number of Viator tours and they have usually been self contained-small group with a guide/driver. This was different because the transport was handled by one person and then handed off to another for the larger group tour.
Very disorganised
Very disappointed the way this tour was organised. We were at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the time at the cruise ship terminal. We had to call the tour company looking for the pickup person. They were late and not where they said they would be. When we got to Pompeii it was very clear that the tour was not booked because there was no guide or head sets organised. We were in a group of about 20 people. We wasted 25 minutes just waiting for them to sort it all out. There was no announcements on the bus when we were picked up as to what the trip agenda was. When the tour guide and headset were finally organised, the tour lady was great. The Pompeii attraction was fantastic but the tour company was very disorganised. I would not recommend this tour based on what we experienced.
Pompeii
This is a very interesting experience and the guide was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. Be prepared for a lot of walking and many people especially in the summer months.
Best Host Ever!
Great host. Very well organized between bus pickup to Pompeii tour guide. Guide was very nice some great english and kept a great pace for all ages that were in the group. Highly recommend this tour company.
The experience of a lifetime.
From being notified about my pickup point the day before, to the final drop-off, this was an expertly organised tour. Maria, my guide, was outstanding and very knowledgeable. On a very hot day she found the shade, pointed out the highlights and guided us through the experience of a lifetime. To walk the streets that Romans walked, to touch the marble and stone they touched, to see the wall paintings and street signs … it was unforgettable.
