Highlights
- Pompeii Archaeological Park - Take the chance to visit in only 2 hours the ruins of the Roman city of Pompeii, the vast archaeological area under the UNESCO patronage.
- Forum - The Forum was the centre of Pompeii when it was first founded and even after the city’s enlargement, when it could hardly be called ‘central’, it remained the focus of political, economic and religious life.
- Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane) - The Stabian Baths take their name from the fact that they lie at the intersection of the Via Stabiana and the Via dell’Abbondanza. They are the oldest baths in Pompeii and four different building phases can be identified.
- Tempio di Giove Capitolino - The Temple of Jupiter, dedicated to the Capitoline triad of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, dominates the north side of the Forum.
- Macellum - The Macellum, or food market, stands in the north-east corner of the Forum. The complex, built in the imperial age as a covered market, had a large number of shops on its periphery on the Via degli Augustali and on the Forum as well as on the inside under a colonnade around its large internal court.

Naples/Pompeii tour and tourguide - Gabriel is probably the best local guide there is! Full of great information, engaging, and willing to give local recommendations! 10/10 would travel from the US just to have him as my guide again! And Mario was the best driver town!

Amazing time in the ancient city of Pompeii - This trip was very educational and interesting to go on, as a result of Pompeii being a true magnificent site of the ancient world, and being recovered quite well by archaeologists. Additionally, our tour guide Gino was very cooperative and helpful to us. Our tour started out with us promptly being picked up from our hotel, despite heavy traffic, and we started on our journey towards Pompeii. Gino gave us nice information about the places we crossed and conversed with us well until we reached Pompeii, where we embarked upon a 2 hour magnificent guided tour, one which we learnt much from, such as the fact that Pompeii had stepping stones on streets for people to avoid stepping in sewage, or that toilets and kitchens were often in the same place in houses. After the tour, we left for a quick drive to our lunch place, which had nice tables and good pastas. Subsequently, Gino agreed to drop us at a lively square in Naples, which he picked out for us personally following our request to be dropped at somewhere where we could shop. We ended our tour here, and explored this square in Naples by ourselves, where we eventually reached a harbour, and went home from there. This trip was quite enjoyable, educational, and was not so long for us to be too tired. Moreover, our tour guide Gino was quite helpful to us and we would recommend both this day trip and him to anyone looking for something interesting to do in the Naples area.
