The guide (Alina....if I remember right) was very good. Shared fun facts and was full of information. She was very friendly. The guided tour covered the main points but it would have been very nice to have had an audio guide after the guided tour. in this way we could prolonge the visit with more details and more houses and corners to understand. It is a huge place to visit and walking around alone having more time for observing details would be perfect with an audio guide with explanations.

Toda la ciudad es fantástica y con la guía que nos ha dado las explicaciones de forma clara y amena en muy buen castellano. Esperábamos ver sólo ruinas y hemos visto una ciudad 👍

Your experience

Ancient wonders

Pompeii is the stuff of legends, and has inspired countless documentaries, movies, and books! The city dates back nearly 2,000 years. An ancient site, the town was unearthed in 1748 AD after the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. This tour is particularly beneficial because you can stroll past the famously long ticketing queues. You'll even have a dedicated guide for company, who will let you in on interesting anecdotes about the places and things you see.

Pompeii's hidden gems

Start exploring the buildings in Pompeii – from homes to bathhouses, and fast food stores to outdoor theatres. With ancient ruins and a skyline dominated by Mount Vesuvius, the visuals through this discovery are breathtaking. Admire the frescos and statues spread over the town. See the 25 street fountains, 4 public baths, and many business buildings, which paint an almost real picture of the town in its heyday.

Glimpse of Pompeii

Continue following your guide as they recreate the hustle and bustle of this once-busy port town. Discover what each building was used for, where families ate their meals, did laundry, and socialized – and where sailors went when they docked. You'll have headsets to be sure that you catch every word. By the end of this tour you will see how much you have in common with people who lived in the 1st century.
