This was my husband's and my 3rd visit and our 2 hr tour didnt include anything we had ever seen before and I really appreciated her wealth of knowledge. She also had a great sense of humor. We had our 10 year old grandson with us and our guide was so patient in answering all of his questions.

Perfectly organized. Our guide-archaeologist, Rafael, is very good and did not stop giving us explanations and answering all our questions. It was an enjoyable and very interesting visit. He also advised us on how to continue the visit once the tour was over. Thank you very much.View original review in Spanish

First of all, we chose the perfect time of year to visit-February. The weather was beautiful and no long lines or crowds. But most of all, our guide, SAso, was wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great story teller. He kept us fascinated. Our experience would not have been as good without him. Thank you Saso!

What could have been the worst, became the best! We opted to travel from Rome by train. Between the train running late, and us getting off at a wrong stop, we were very late. These folks handled it like champs. We received inquiries by text and they kindly managed to include us into another group upon our arrival. I'm sure it being winter with less visitors helped. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and quite thorough. We enjoyed our tour.
Through an archaeologist's lens
Take a 2-hour guided walk through Pompeii, an archaeological marvel, offering insights into daily life during the Roman Empire. Breeze past the queue with the skip-the-line ticket, and begin your expedition with an archaeologist guide through ancient streets and the bustling Forum, a central public space serving as the heart of civic, commercial, and social activities.
Learn about the city's history, including the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This volcanic eruption buried the city under a thick layer of ash and pumice, preserving it remarkably well for centuries. Discover hidden secrets of attractions like the Basilica, the Thermopolium of Asellina, and the Stabian Baths, considered to be the oldest public baths in the city, constructed during the 2nd century BC.
Walk through Pompeii’s highlights
Stroll down the Via dell’Abbondanza to reach the Teatro Grande, Pompeii's foremost theatre, primarily hosting theatrical performances, musical events, and various public spectacles. Throughout the exploration, you'll have the opportunity to appreciate ancient Roman artworks. Have the opportunity to step into the culinary world of ancient Pompeii as you explore the Thermopilia, ancient Roman "fast-food" establishments that once served as communal gathering spaces for locals.
Get to see the erotic frescoes woven into the walls of Pompeii's ruins where your guide will provide a nuanced perspective on the sensual aspects of Pompeii's culture.
Visit Foro, a hub of ancient political activities where you can get a sense of political chatters that once existed in these ruins. End the tour at the 'Calchi dei Corpi,' plaster casts that preserve the final moments of victims during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
