Amazing guide & skip-the-line tickets
Our guide was amazing! I'm really glad I booked a tour with a guide because you miss so much when you explore on your own. She told us a lot of interesting stories! I especially loved seeing Mount Vesuvius above the city and visiting the Forum. Also, the tour included skip-the-line tickets, so we didn't have to waste time. Highly recommended!!!
Educational tour with convenient transportation!
The tour was great! I learned a lot from our guide. She was enthusiastic, knew a lot, and told us about life in the city, its history, architecture, and everything else. We also had free time at the end, so we explored around on our own. Transportation was comfortable. They dropped us off at a convenient location. I would recommend this excursion!

SEE POMPEII AND MOUNT VESUVIUS
In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted. Debris started to fall over the city, and clouds of hot gases gathered the next day. Many people died, and much of the city was destroyed. Ash covered the city, and it remained like that until the 18th century when its discovery reawakened interest in classical architecture and art. Your guide will explain how the eruption affected the citizens and why so many couldn't escape.
DISCOVER THE REMAINS OF THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE
Around the city, you can see plaster casts of the people and animals that died in the catastrophe. You will see the Forum, which was the center of daily life with the main public buildings of the city which served for administration, justice, trade, and worship. Visit the House of the Vettii, one of the richest and most famous. An image of Priapus, the god of prosperity, is painted at the entrance. You can see the Lupanar, which was the city's brothel, ancient Roman temples, bathhouses, factories, and more!
FREE TIME TO EXPLORE AT YOUR OWN PACE
After the guided tour, you will have some free time to explore the ruins on your own. After a day of sightseeing, relax in the van, and we will drive you back to Naples.
PRO TIP
Don’t miss visiting the House of the Vettii, a stunning Roman mansion reopened in 2023 after 20 years of intensive restoration. Originally belonging to two former slaves who built a massive fortune selling wine, the home is now famous among experts as the "Sistine Chapel of Pompeii" thanks to the detailed mythological paintings covering its walls.

INTERESTING FACT
In 2024, archaeologists uncovered a beautifully preserved religious shrine painted entirely in vibrant blue. Because blue paint was extremely expensive and difficult to produce in ancient Rome, it is very rare in Pompeii. Covered in detailed paintings of women representing the four seasons, this blue room proves the home belonged to a citizen of considerable wealth.
