What To Expect
Pompeii Archaeological Park
See Pompeii’s ancient piazza and Forum, where business dealings, elections, speeches and processions would have played out during Roman times. Wander the site, marvel at the ancient limestone columns still standing today and capture the centuries-old scenery on camera. Continue onward with your guide to the thermal baths, where many of the townsfolk would have bathed, chatted and lived out their daily lives before the eruption. Wander down Via degli Augustali and discover the Lupanare, Pompeii’s brothel. A 2-storey building with five rooms on each floor, the Lupanare is decorated with some of the city’s most lustful frescoes. Your exact route will depend on the crowds and weather conditions.

4.00It’s a lot of walking on very uneven ground . Erica the tour guide was very knowledgeable it was a shame though that we could not hear a lot of her commentary. The audio was not good and the group size was too big. Despite this, it was a good tour but my recommendation would be to try to find an operator with smaller group sizes or book your own guide for just you .
Perfect trip

5.00The trip was perfect for what we needed, a short visit looking at the highlights! So organized, friendly staff, and transportation was on time, picked us up at the hotel in nice comfy vans. It’s truly a worry free tour.
