Additional Information

Join our small group tour where an experienced guide will breathe meaning into the ruins of Pompeii and the splendours of olden Roman culture. This remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site provides a striking reflection of everyday Roman existence that was obliterated and concealed beneath ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Our local guide, Maria, comments ‘You’ll experience the magnificence of regal villas adorned with vibrant frescoes and priceless mosaics, and resonate with the living experience of ancient Pompeii’. As you traverse the site, you’ll be astounded by the immensity of what has been conserved for over two millennia. Roam among the ruins, follow their stone-paved paths till you reach the centre of daily activities - the Forum. Marvel at the centaur statue, time-worn columns and more. Strolling through Pompeii is akin to flipping through a dynamic history book. It’s almost easy to visualise Romans socialising in the communal bathing spaces. Enter private residences and drop by the amphitheatre, one of the most ancient still standing.

  • We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes and a bottle of water with you, especially on hot days.
  • You can’t bring any large bags and backpacks inside the site. You can leave them at the entrance, where a free cloakroom service is available. You can retrieve them at the end of your visit.
  • Taking into account that public transport is not entirely efficient and that your voucher will need to be exchanged with the ticket, please leave early enough to reach the site at least 15 minutes before the beginning of the tour. It is not guaranteed that any late arrivals will be accommodated.
  • Knowing the typical cobblestone streets in Pompeii, unfortunately the tour is not accessible for people with reduced mobility/wheelchair.

Very interesting experience - We visited Pompeii accompanied by the guide Maria Novella, in a small group. Very very knowledgeable guide, with great knowledge and passion for what he was showing us. He was able to enrich the information with anecdotes and curiosities. Finally we received many indications to continue the visit independently. We had a great time! Fantastic Pompeii!!!!!
