Explore more of Pompeii than you would on any other guided tour, with a trained archaeologist to provide stories and context that will help you make the most of your visit. Upon meeting up with your guide and small group, you’ll skip the long lines to enter the ruins. Hear fascinating stories about life in the Roman Republic and see how ordinary people lived nearly 2,000 years ago. See the remains of a bakery where the food is still almost intact, the Temple of Apollo and the Roman Forum, an ancient supermarket, a cemetery, and even a brothel (if age appropriate). Marvel at the heart-wrenching plaster casts of those caught in the eruption at the exact moment of their death. You’ll also explore the House of the Vettii, a fascinating private home that recently reopened to the public following restoration. End with a stroll along the old city walls for panoramic views.

Easy to find tour group at the entrance of the Pompeii ruins. Had a small group with knowledgeable guide Enzo who is also an archaeologist. He is very passionate about the history and allowed us to envision the history of Pompeii. Though slightly longer tour, we were able to see main points of the park except for the Amphitheater. I would return just to spend more time exploring.

Initially hard to find group leader. The person needs to hold up a large sign. Once we found her, she had us on her list and then we got together with our guide.
