Pompeii Archaeological Park
Pompeii (/pɒmˈpeɪi/) was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area (e.g. at Boscoreale, Stabiae), was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Volcanic ash typically buried inhabitants who did not escape the lethal effects of the earthquake and eruption. Largely preserved under the ash, the excavated city offers a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried[1] and providing an extraordinarily detailed insight into the everyday life of its inhabitants. Organic remains, including wooden objects and human bodies, were entombed in the ash and decayed away, making natural molds; and excavators used these to make plaster casts, unique and often gruesome figures from the last minutes of the catastrophe. The numerous graffiti carved on the walls and inside rooms provides a wealth of examples of the largely lost Vulgar Latin spoken colloquially, contrasting with the formal language of the classical writers. Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.[2] Excavations recommenced in several unexplored areas of the city, and in 2018 new discoveries were reported

So thankful for our guides!

5.00We are so thankful we booked this. Family of six (three kids and one 78 year old). The car was roomy and comfortable. Our driver, Daniel, was a pleasure. As talkative as we wanted him to be and at the end of the day when everyone was tired he just let us sleep. But so glad to get his knowledge and opinions on our drive up. We had a lovely guide at Pompeii and though we picked a free museum day by accident (think insane crowds) he somehow avoided them all and showed us everything we could want to see. A wonderful trip all around. Easy five stars!
5 STAR EXPERIENCE FOR MY FAMILY

5.00We had a spectacular day on our trip from Rome to Pompeii. Our driver, Andy was very personable and provided wonderful service on the road to the Naples area. he even made a stop part of the way to the ruins because he said that the service area provided the best espresso between Rome and Naples. Directed us to an authentic Naples pizza for lunch.. arch Erica was most knowledgeable of the ruins and provided over 2 1/2 hours of nonstop archaeological knowledge that made our trip memorable. Book this trip and you will not be sorry.
Five Stars all around

5.00Vincenzo and Carmine provided us with an excellent tour of Pompeii and Sorrento. They were prompt, courteous, professional, informative and quite enjoyable. Vincenzo and Carmine were considerate of our time and navigated us through the sites while avoiding the crowds. We also used Aim Limo Tours to provide transportation from FCO Airport to Rome and from Rome to the Port of Civitavecchia. Transportation was quite easy to arrange and the drivers were prompt and courteous. We will definitely use Aim Limo in the future.
Awesome!!!

5.00The day trip to Pompeii was above and beyond our expectations. Our driver was Alessandro. He was very prompt and professional meeting all of the time schedules for the trip. He provided history and extensive knowledge about the area during the trip and was a pleasure to talk to. On our way back to Rome, Alessandro provided an additional excursion tailored to our interests. The trip was memorable and everyone had an excellent time! We have already recommended the company, and Alessandro, to other travelers headed to Rome!

5.00It is impossible to see the whole city, it is immense and shows what happened although if it is true that there are some very rehabilitated areas. We lack more information when we can make the visit and also lack of information about many areas that were without access. We also went to Ercolano, it is much smaller and easier to see but full of scaffolding as they are rebuilding many of the buildings and the truth is that the image was not very good
Great value for money - a must see attraction!

5.00We stayed in Rome for three nights and wanted to visit Pompeii, but didn't want to spend hours on a coach, etc. This tour was the perfect length of time. We were picked up at our hotel entrance at 7:30am (our driver Ivano was actually early, but we weren't ready). He picked us up in a Mercedes minivan, with air con, leather seats, and a bottle of water and travel neck cushion for us all! He gave us some interesting information about Rome and Pompeii, and kept us entertained with his great sense of humour! We arrived in Pompeii just before 10am, where we had time to grab a coffee, before we were introduced to our guide Margarita. Margarita spoke perfect English and had lots of knowledge of Pompeii and it's history. Our group of six were the only people on the tour - it really is private as stated! Margarita showed us the highlights of the ruins, and gave us the most valuable information that she could in our two hour time slot. We finished up at around 12pm, and Ivano waited in the car nearby so that we could grab some lunch in one of the restaurants at the entrance to the City, before we returned to the car for our journey back to Rome. We arrived back just before half past three. All of the time scales given in the tour description are very accurate, so we were back in time for our train to Florence. Everything about the tour was easy, comfortable and enjoyable. This tour is fantastic value for money, and allows you to experience the highlights of Pompeii, without being out all day. The company that Viator use for the transfer to Pompeii are called Aim Limo Rome. Our tour guide Ivano couldn't have been nicer, or more accommodating. We would recommend his company Aim Limo to anybody!
