Highlights
Join us in this private tour of Pompeii off the beaten path with a REAL archaeologist! You will have the chance to walk and discover Pompeii, with our experience as archaeologists, on places and roads with no or just few people apart us! This tour will be the best way to appreciate the increadible ruins without be soffocated by the crowd and the hot temperature! We'll show you in a very relaxed way all the most important things but also the hidden details. Pompeii is the second archaeological site for number of visitors in Italy (after the Colosseum in Rome) and, expecially in high season from April to October, is overcrowded! Also during the summer could be very hot and warm! For these reasons we decide to create also a tour that start in the afternoon (usually from 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm ONLY from APRIL to OCTOBER) when the archaeological site is empty from mass tourists and cooler for the sea breeze!

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
Top-ranked sights in Pompeii: Pompeii Archaeological Site, Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane), Via dell’Abbondanza.
