Great tour. We did the whole site. It's a pity that you have to pay extra to see the necropolis, the Herculaneum gate and the Villa of the Mysteries. A personal plus per i molti gatti we met.

It was just amazing to see how Pompeii had developped into a culture, far far ahead of the nordic part of Europe, where I come from. 2.000 years ago they had streets, infrastructure, schools for physical and mental development, theatres, complex watersystem for the city, art and much more. 2.000 years ago we were in a completly other level here in scandinavia. It was like a frozen image of a highly developped culture - just amazing to see. I'm returning ...

Everything went smoothly. Just a little doubt when you note that you have to be there half an hour before the scheduled time or you won't be able to get in. But it was a free ticket between 9am and 5pm. Otherwise really great.

The experience is worthy of having had it, simply as help for others, I have to say that the audio guide terminal should be positioned in real time to be able to guide you at all times, which does not happen.

Archeological site is spectacular, a lot bigger than expected. Tickets included Villa Mysterio which is beautiful and definitely worht¡¡th seeing.

Deeply ingrained in myth and history, Pompeii dates back to nearly 2,000 years ago. An ancient site, the town was unearthed in 1748 AD after the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Over here you can revel in the ancient glory of the Campania region forever immortalized by the volcanic debris, standing as a true testament of nature’s infinite existence.

Upon arrival in Pompeii make your way into the attraction where your adventure truly begins. With ancient ruins and age-old artifacts all around, and a skyline dominated by Mount Vesuvius, the visuals through this discovery are breathtaking. Ideally, you want to spend around 4 hours here, there’s plenty for you to see. Walk around the Forum, visit the Basilica or relax under the shade of a tree near the amphitheater, it’s your call. There are numerous frescos and statues spread over the town along with 25 street fountains, 4 public baths and many business buildings which paints an almost real picture of the town in its hay day. As you stroll through the cobbled streets you’ll find yourself looking at everything with a sense of wonder and amazement. After all, you’re in a place that is frozen in the fabric of time.

Your understanding of the ancient world is sure to change after you see how much we have in common with people who lived in the first century. From everyday objects to wine barrels, there’s a lot for you to see and discover on this tour.

If self-exploration is your jam, go for the audio guide tickets, available in multiple languages.
