Highlights
Visit Ancient Pompeii with a Local Guide! Step back in time and discover the fascinating history of one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the world. Explore the streets of ancient Pompeii and learn about the habits, traditions, and daily life of a thriving Roman city. During the tour, you will relive the final moments of Pompeii before the dramatic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

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.
