I’ve always been captivated by the story of Mount Vesuvius erupting, and I’ve wanted to visit Pompeii since I was little. Honestly, this guided tour was a dream come true. Not only did our guide, Marco, show us the ruins, but he also taught us the entire history of Pompeii. I felt like a little kid again! Also, we got to skip the line with our ticket, which was great to have on vacation!
My husband really wanted to see Pompeii, but I was dead-set on swimming in Positano. This tour from Positano was perfect for us! Because they pick you up and drop you off, you don’t need to worry about any logistics. You just sit back, relax, and see the sights. So easy and so much fun.

FIND OUT THE HISTORY OF POMPEII FROM YOUR GUIDE
As your tour guide leads you through Pompeii’s ruins, they’ll teach you about the site’s history. In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, destroying the city. Pompeii was buried under 4 to 6 meters of volcanic ash, preserving the city in the moment of eruption and offering a unique snapshot into everyday Roman life today.
EXPLORE POMPEII'S REMAINS
This small group tour covers the entire archaeological site of Pompeii, with your tour guide pointing out famous monuments like the Basilica, the Forum, the thermal baths, and more. These attractions are proof of the city’s wealth. With no less than five entrances, the Basilica was the city’s most grandiose building, used for the administration of justice. You’ll also see the thermal baths - all five of them, and all with three different types of bath rooms: frigidarium (cold baths), tepidarium (medium-temperature baths), and calidarium (hot baths).
IMAGINE WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE 2,000 YEARS AGO
Your tour guide will also show you the remains of residential houses. Take a moment to reflect on what life in Pompeii was like before the eruption; its inhabitants must have prayed in temples, relaxed in the baths, gone to the theater, watched gladiators at the amphitheater, and traded at the Forum…before the eruption put a stop to all of that.
TRAVEL BACK AND REFLECT ON YOUR VISIT
Once the tour finishes, your guide will drop you off in Positano or Praiano. As you travel back, think of all the incredible sights you saw - and maybe start planning your next trip!
