Meet your official, authorised guide at Porta Marina Inferiore, in Piazza Esedra, and begin a 2-hour guided walking tour of Pompeii, one of the world’s most important archaeological sites.

Step back in time as you enter the ancient city through Porta Marina, once the main gateway connecting Pompeii to its harbour. Walk along original Roman streets and reach the Forum, the political, religious, and commercial centre of the city, surrounded by monumental buildings such as the Basilica, the Temple of Jupiter, and the Temple of Apollo.

Continue the tour towards some of Pompeii’s most fascinating public spaces, including the Forum Baths or Stabian Baths, where locals gathered to relax and socialise. Stroll along lively streets such as Via dell’Abbondanza, lined with ancient shops, bakeries, and taverns that reveal how everyday life unfolded nearly 2,000 years ago.

Admire the refined architecture and mosaics of elite residences, including the renowned House of the Faun, one of the largest and most luxurious private homes in Pompeii. Gain insight into Roman social customs as you visit a brothel (Lupanar) and learn how citizens spent their leisure time. Along the way, discover recently excavated areas and new archaeological findings that offer fresh perspectives on the final days of the city before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

This carefully designed itinerary focuses on the central area of Pompeii, allowing you to explore the site’s highlights comfortably within a 2-hour guided tour.
