What to expect

After meeting your group at the hotel at 10.00am, you'll head to Pompeii to visit one of the most fascinating places in Naples, thanks to the story of a professional guide. At the time of the Romans, Pompeii was a rich and very populated city, full of public and private buildings.

One summer day in 79 AD, all of Pompeii and its approximately 20,000 inhabitants were covered under tons of ash and pumice because of a violent explosion of Vesuvius. A shower of lapilli deposited everywhere, covering the ground for more than 6 meters, wrapping everything and making imprints of the bodies and clothes of those who were fleeing.

After about 2000 years later, you have the opportunity to discover the daily life of the imperial era and imagine the fear of the population before the city was destroyed. With a 2-hour walk, your guide will illustrate the most evocative places of the city, such as the Forum, the Spa, the House of the Roofs with its beautiful frescoes and the Lupanar. A visit not to be missed for anyone who visits this region of Italy! After the tour, you'll return to Naples at 1.30pm.

    Terrible organisation, couldn't hear guide over dozens of other guides. Too busy so unable to see/hear. No comparison to herculaneum trip we have done before. Rushed. Not one positive comment I'm afraid

    We were the first pick up on the day and fully expected there would be other passengers to collect but we didn’t expect to be waiting over 30 mins at each pickup because people were late. I appreciate this wasn’t the fault of the driver but by the time we got to Pompeii we had been on the minibus for 2hrs. The tour guide (Erica) was very friendly and knowledgeable but the tour seemed very rushed and we kept losing sound via the audio headsets. Overall experience 6/10.

    The limit of 2 hours does not allow to see more attractions, nonetheless the guide was great in focusing on the major ones and let the audience understand how old Romans used to live.

    Servizio di transfer ben organizzato e puntuale. La nostra guida Alex, molto preparata e allo stesso tempo divertente, permettendo così un tour di Pompei molto interessante e piacevolissimo. Forse due ore, anche per la cifra pagata, sono un po' poche.
