Overview

Step into Pompeii with a licensed professional guide and discover the city frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Meet directly at the site, skip the long ticket queue, and enjoy a 2.5-hour guided exploration of one of the world's most remarkable archaeological sites.
Walk along original Roman streets, enter preserved homes adorned with frescoes, see the Forum beneath the shadow of the volcano, and visit iconic landmarks including the bakery, brothel, baths, and the famous plaster casts of the victims.
With a small group of up to 8 guests, you'll enjoy a more personal experience, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore the ruins comfortably.
This is the on-site version of our tour: meet us directly at Pompeii. No transport is included, making it ideal for travellers already staying in Pompeii, Naples, Sorrento, or arriving independently by train.
