What To Expect

Pompeii Archaeological Park

My tour of Pompeii is tuned on your will and physical attitude. The city is roughly 150 acres large, it hosted once approximately 18000 inhabitants, so the walking tour will be focused on the highlights surrounding the ancient Forum. Would there be any special request please let me know ahead of time: we can plan the itinerary together! In any case, most of the following places will be thoroughly visited: the Forum and its public buildings, The Thermal Bath, The Big and the Small Theatre, a tavern, a bakery, and one or two wonderful private houses.

1 minute • Admission Included

A visit to the Porta Marina offers a dramatic entrance into ancient Pompeii via its primary access point to the sea, where you pass through a sophisticated dual-arched gate designed for both pedestrian and cart traffic. This entry point is integrated directly into the city's robust Cinta Muraria (defensive walls), which visually narrate centuries of the city's history and fortification efforts. As you ascend the gentle slope of Via Marina from the gate, you are immediately funneled toward the administrative and religious core of the city, the Forum, and you are positioned perfectly to explore key initial sites like the Antiquarium museum and the Suburban Baths.

Fabrizio was amazing and so accommodating! He was the perfect guide for Pompeii and we learned so much from him about the history and the daily life of the Pompeii residents. I’m not a history buff but Fabrizio kept me Engaged the whole time. So nice to cap the day off with the wine tasting and lunch - a beautiful end to our afternoon. So good!!!
Highly recommended

Fabrizio was a wealth of knowledge, polite, flexible, funny and is someone who never worked a day in their life because they love what they do! He described the details of daily life in Pompeii before that fateful day in 79 AD…where the roads led, how bathhouses were constructed and used, how the wealthy displayed their prominence, and all beautiful frescoes that somehow survived. Our lunch at the winery was good but the view was incredible. I bought a bottle of red from Cantina del Vesuvio. I highly recommend this tour and the exceptional skills of Fabrizio!
