Description

Skip the lines to enter Pompeii on an in-depth three-hour tour. Covering more ground than on other guided tours, your archaeologist guide will take you through the ancient city that was decimated by the explosion of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. Follow them through the UNESCO World Heritage site to see the amazing ruins of ancient shops, temples, homes and more. As an active archaeological site, there is always something to discover and your in-the-know guide will take you to the latest excavations. Wrap up with a walk along the city walls for sweeping views of Naples and Capri. Your small-group tour is limited to 15 people in order to ensure a more personal experience. If you're short on time, select the Pompeii Express Option at time of booking. This two-hour express tour is led by an expert archaeologist and designed for travelers who want to see Pompeii's highlights without committing to a full day at the archaeological park.

Itinerary

1
Explore more of Pompeii than you would on any other guided tour, with a trained archaeologist. Upon meeting up with your guide and small group, you’ll skip the long lines to enter the ruins. Hear fascinating stories about life in the Roman Republic and see how ordinary people lived nearly 2,000 years ago. See the remains of a bakery where the food is still almost intact, the Temple of Apollo and the Roman Forum, an ancient supermarket, a cemetery, and even a brothel (if age appropriate). Marvel at the heart-wrenching plaster casts of those caught in the eruption at the exact moment of their death. About a third of Pompeii remains uncovered and excavations and preservation efforts are ongoing. Your expert guide adapts their itinerary as new discoveries are made. If you prefer a shorter 2-hour experience, select the Pompeii Express Option at time of booking. This express tour is led by an archaeologist and takes you on a curated route of the park's highlights.
