your experience

Pompeii is the stuff of legends, and has inspired countless documentaries, movies, and books! The city dates back to nearly 2,000 years. An ancient site, the town was unearthed in 1748 AD after the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. This tour is particularly beneficial because you get to stroll past the famously long ticketing queues. You'll even have a dedicated guide for company, who will let you in on interesting anecdotes about the places and things you see.

Join a small group of 20 people or less and start exploring the buildings in Pompeii – from homes to bathhouses, fast food stores to outdoor theatres. With ancient ruins and a skyline dominated by Mount Vesuvius, the visuals through this discovery are breathtaking. Admire the frescos and statues spread over the town. See the 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.

Continue following your guide as they recreate the hustle and bustle of this once-busy port town. Discover what each building was used for, where families ate their meals, did laundry, and socialized – and where sailors went when they docked. You'll have headsets to be sure that you catch every word, with a little extra space for wandering and picture-taking. By the end of this tour, your understanding of the ancient world is sure to change. After all, you will see how much you 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!
