What To Expect
Pompeii Archaeological Park
Pompeii 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.
Basilica
The Basilica is the most sumptuous building of the Forum, and its space was used to carry out business and for the administration of justice

4.00It was a very nice tour. Our guide for the day was Isabella. She was very nice and knowledgeable. The one thing I didn’t like about the tour is there’s too much waiting for the rest of the crowd and too much talking before going into the ruins. I would like to see more and less talk. Too much history is hard to absorb all at one time.
Pompeii & Vesuvius are incredible

5.00It was an amazing day. Exhausting, but amazing. Rebecca led our group through Pompeii - very knowledgeable; friendly and answered tons of questions. Really enjoyed her as a guide. Pompeii is incredible, a must see. As for Vesuvius, gave up about half way up but the drive up was fun and the area is beautiful. Tour left and returned on time, everything went well. Recommend.
Great trip! We learned so...

5.00Roberta was terrific. Very comprehensive tour of Pompeii. We stayed ahead of the crowds and were able to cover a lot of the city very effectively. The hike up Mt Vesuvius is fairly strenuous but you can go up as high as you would like. I am a 75 year old man in decent shape and made it to the top with just a couple breaks. About a 30 minute walk to the summit. Highly recommend this tour and our guide.
