Itinerary

  1. Visit the site as it opens, skipping the line to buy tichets and getting in up front to see the main attraction af the Archeological site, keeping it short and sweet! Don't worry: Casts and Red Light District will always be part of the tour! As Your time is important to us,, the tour is tailored for small groups, so that moving around is much easier and smoother. No long waits, no endless trailing around, just the highlights as soon as the site opens its gates! It is fundamental to be on time at the meeting point where the guide will be waiting for you holding the tickets entrance. What also is guaranteed is the visit of the Forum, the casts, the red light district with its famous frescoes and a theatre.

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.
