Among the archaeological locations of Vesuvius, buried following the dramatic eruption of 79 A.D., Oplontis is probably the one that offers the most significant monumental testimonies of the Pompeian suburb: your local expert Archaeologist will guide you to these unforgettable places! Currently the only visiting monument of the ancient Oplontis is a large residential villa: it belonged to Poppaea Sabina, the second wife of Emperor Nero, or the heritage of her family, based on the testimony of an inscription painted on a mentioned amphora Sucundus, his slave or freedman. This place is a kind of miracle: the the wall paintings are still today vivid in colors and details… You’ll be totally AMAZED! Stabiae played an important strategic and commercial role: there are numerous villas in a panoramic position, conceived mainly for residential purposes, with large residential neighborhoods, spa facilities, porches and beautifully decorated nymphs. Currently you can visit 'Villa S. Marco' the largest among the Roman 'villas' and 'Villa Arianna', the oldest, which owes its name to the large painting with mythological subject found in the back wall of the triclinium. It’s very fascinating to see how the eruption was so distructive, even among the smallest villages – not as big as Pompeii and Herculaneum – and how everything is preserved as well!

The modern city of Torre Annunziata, corresponding to the ancient Oplontis, is well-known for an hidden treasure of the Roman age, the so-called Villa of Poppea, a majestic suburban villa belonged to the Nero's second wife. The guided tour starts in the lush garden, where you see the same trees of that time, replanted after the archaeologist made the plaster casts of the carbonized roots. Then you walk through the rooms of the imperial residence, provided with a thermal suite and a large swimming pool surrounded by olive trees, to see amazing frescoes with mythological scenes and still-nature. At the time of the eruption, there were restoration works in progress inside the villa, therefore no victims were found inside.

Destroyed and buried by the Vesuvius eruption the Pompeii has conserved an ancient world. Its ruins are a time machine where if you switch the bottom, you can go back 2000 years. Doing that you will see where the romans lived their daily lives. The richly decorated houses and the sophisticated thermal baths will amaze you. Arriving at the city centre surrounded by marble decorations, columns and public building you will enjoy a beautiful Vesuvius landscape. Someone once said: “Pompeii is the most lively of dead towns”. It makes sense because when you will walk on its streets you will have the sensation that life is still going on. You’ll think that you can see people while they buy, sell, eat and drink at the shops. This town still conserves its lights and shades so you will see its sophistication, elegance and richness but at same time its dark and hot sides. Visiting this ancient and precious casket that is still partly unknown you will live an unforgettable experience.

Kelly_C, Jul 2026

A great tour

We had a wonderful tour with our two children. Our guide was informative, patient, and made great use of our time. She made sure we were comfortable in the shade and kept the information clear and fun for the kids. We were very tired from travelling and our kids perked up with our kind guide.

Exclusive Private Tour: Explore Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast

CihanAlper_D, Jul 2026

We had an amazing...

We had an amazing full-day tour with Giuseppe, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. He has a wonderful way of bringing history to life—his explanations of Pompeii were engaging, informative, and very easy to understand. We learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. During the drive along the Amalfi Coast, Giuseppe shared fascinating stories, local insights, and recommendations that made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. He was professional, friendly, patient, and had a great sense of humor, which made the entire day fun and relaxing. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, passionate, and truly enjoys sharing the beauty and history of this region, we couldn’t recommend Giuseppe more highly. Thank you for making our day so memorable!

Sylvia was patient while I sorted a mix up on tickets, friendly despite the scorching heat, and extremely knowledgeable about the site and its history. We had a group with mixed knowledge of Roman times and she adjusted her explanation to fit everyone.

An tour engaging for kids

Roberta our guide was fantastic! She packed the visit with insightful memorable facts and guided without ever overwhelming us. The pacing was perfect for the heat — steady, comfortable, and efficient — and we covered a huge amount of the grounds while still having energy left to explore afterward. The best part was how brilliantly she connected with our 13‑year‑old. Roberta focused on his interests, spoke directly to him, and kept him engaged from start to finish. She turned the tour into an experience he’ll remember. Highly recommend

Amazing

While the hike up Mount Vesuvius was cancelled due to lightning, we truly enjoyed plan B, which was the visit of Ercolano. Our guide Mario was wonderful, sharing his knowledge of the history of the eruption. At Pompeii, we followed Ilaria, our expert guide. Having worked on the site herself, she had so much to teach us. We fully enjoyed both visits.

Must join tour with Archaeologist!

We joined the 9am tour which has much less people and less hot and with the Campania card we queued up 10 mins earlier and redeem the entrance tickets at 9am. Riccardo is our knowledgable Archaeologist who shared lots of interesting stories, history, design and daily lives of the people lived in Pompeii. 2 hours we managed visited some of the highlights especially the Spa and enjoyed the tour a lot!

Private Tour: Herculaneum - Pompeii - Vesuvius with pickup

Sarah_S, May 2026

An Experience we will Always Remember! Thank You!

This excursion was amazing and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Pompeii and the Herculaneum! We are grateful we decided to do a private tour instead of a group tour because we were able to ask questions throughout, did not have to have a headset to hear our guide, and were able to go to the locations we were most interested in. On an extremely busy day (with 4 cruise ships ported) our knowledgeable guide was able to take us to places that we wouldn't have seen in large groups, he knew where to go and what to avoid with the large crowds everywhere. Our driver, Antonio, was also our licensed tour guide so from the time we were picked up from our boat until we were dropped off at the end of the tour, we received valuable information about the sites we were seeing, as well as about Naples history. He even had photos and a Power Point presentation to prepare us for what we were going to see and to answer questions we had before we even got to the locations. Antonio was professional, had great communication, was friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He made this trip what it was - unforgettable. Our family booked the pick-up/drop off Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Vesuvius experience. Antonio let us know as soon as we booked that the tickets to Pompeii and the Herculaneum were already taken care of, but that the Mount Vesuvius experience is something that we book when the tickets open up on the park's website and he is able to take us there for the climb, but he also let us know that they are challenging tickets to get, and let us know the steps to obtain them and provided the website so we could attempt to get the tickets when they become available. (We found out later that it is so challenging to get tickets because the large tour companies are able to get them about 6 months in advance and they buy all the tickets so that small tour companies and individuals aren't able to get them at the standard price and have to go through the bigger companies to do the experience at a raised price - that is too bad, but has no reflection on Antonio or our experience, because he assured us that if we could not get the tickets he would be able to provide us with an experience we would enjoy). We ended up doing an extended tour at Pompeii taking us to an area in the back of the site, going to a delightful restaurant and having Pizza Napoletana while Antonio walked all the way back through Pompeii to get the car and we could relax and eat, we went to the Herculaneum and saw the museum there, and then did a tour of Naples seeing the beautiful panoramic views and the local buildings. Antonio was a great teacher, he prepared us well, so we could understand when we got to the sites, we could understand how to recognize shops, temples, and other significant features. Our daughter, who is 10, was able to recognize areas when he would say, "Question, what is this?" She knew it was a shop, or a temple, or a water fountain, or where awnings were, etc., because he had done a great job with showing us recognizable features and it helped us better understand what we were seeing. In addition, he brought in his tablet with the pictures so that when we were in specific areas of the site, he could say, "This is what it may have looked like" and you could picture the scene in your mind even better. He was mindful that our daughter was young and asked ahead of time whether we would like to see the "red light" district areas, or whether we would like to do another area, which was very thoughtful. He also did a great job comparing and contrasting the Herculaneum and Pompeii so we could understand the difference between the two sites. We are grateful that we booked this tour and recommend it to anyone! Antonio is amazing and we will remember this experience for a lifetime, thanks to him!!!!

Fantastic experience!!

This was such an incredible tour. Being with a private guide and skipping all the lines was worth every penny. Our guide was Vitelo and he was excellent. We were able to see so many fascinating places that we would have missed otherwise. Highly recommend doing this tour In Pompeii.

Skip the Line Guided Tour of Pompeii Led by an Archaeologist

Jodie_R, Nov 2025

Highlight of my holiday

We had a great time on our private tour around Pompeii with Italo- he was a brilliant guide, really knew his stuff and had a nice relaxed style too. Obviously the site is massive so we didn’t get to see everything on the tour, but we saw some of the main headlines and it helped having a guide to point out all of the little details that you’d easily miss on your own. Once the tour was completed Italo left us in the forum area and showed us how the grid system worked and that meant that we could use the map provided to go and see other bits of the site that the tour hadn’t included. A great experience.

Great 2hr tour of Pompei ruins!

My husband and I had a wonderful time learning some history, science, and archeology from our tour guide. He was very open to and knowledgeable about the questions we had. We would have loved to explore the whole space with our guide but when our tour was finished, he helped send us in the direction we were interested in continuing to explore. I would highly recommend!
