Additional Information

Embark on a one-of-a-kind expedition of Pompeii in an intimate group that caps at six individuals or opt for the privacy of a personal tour. Over the course of 2.5 enlightening hours, you will have the opportunity to uncover the secrets of one of the most intriguing historical landmarks with your guide—an actual archaeologist. Pompeii—a city densely packed with insights into ancient daily life—demands the expertise of a knowledgeable guide to fully appreciate its riches. Considered one of Italy’s most well-preserved archaeological treasures, touring Pompeii with a skilled guide is a must. Established as a quintessential Roman village around 80 B.C., Pompeii was abruptly buried under six meters of ash due to the cataclysmic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D., effectively disappearing until its reemergence in 1599. Step into a captivating narrative laced with historical facts about this ancient port city and the contemporary excavations that are gradually restoring it to its former state!

An amazing overview of a world wonder - We had an excellent time in Pompeii with our guide. He met us at the train station and walked us through as much of the site as possible in 2.5 hours. He was a wealth of knowledge and it was so helpful to us being able to enjoy and appreciate the ruins and the history. I can't imagine visiting these ruins without a guide. I wish I had remembered his name. However, he was an archeologist with a focus on restoration and interpretation. And his unique perspective and way of seeing the ruins were so important to our enjoyment and understanding. When we got to the amphitheater he demonstrated how the acoustics worked and how everyone could hear without a microphone. It was magnificent. After our tour we stayed and walked through more of the site. And walking through it again now with the knowledge we had from our guide made it even more enjoyable. When it Italy we use Liv Tours where ever we can and have never been disappointed.

Wonderful Full Day Tour of Pompeii and Naples - Great tour of Pompeii followed by a food tour of Naples and Naples Underground. It was a busy day but our family of 5 (three teens) thought this was one of the highlights of our Italy Spring Break. Our guide, Natalia, was fantastic, she showed us the best spots and snuck us around all of the lines and waits. Highly recommend Natalia and LivTours!!!

Great tour of Pompeii - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Pompeii with Liia (yes, with two "i's"). She was very engaging and very knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed our time with her. The city of Pompeii is amazing and we learned so much from Liia as we went through the city with her. We spent a few hours there, but we could have spent much more. If you are really interested in all there is to see there, I would recommend taking a longer half-day tour. Once again, the team at LivTours did a fabulous job with the itinerary and the guide. Thank you, LivTours!
