Itinerary

Choose from a 2- or 3-hour tour and a morning or afternoon option to suit your sightseeing schedule. If you have your own transportation, meet your guide at the entrance to the archaeological site, or select the transportation option for pickup at your Naples hotel or the central train station in a private vehicle. The journey from Naples takes about 30 minutes. Pay your entrance fees (not included), and then step inside the walls of the once-thriving ancient city.

Learn about Pompeii’s rise and fall as your guide’s expert commentary brings to life the site’s major highlights, including the thermal baths, forum, theater, and pleasure houses. See vibrant frescoes and other architectural details amazingly preserved by the ash from Mt. Vesuvius when it erupted in 79 AD, destroying the city and killing most of its residents. See the compelling impressions left by residents and animals buried in their final moments, and learn about daily life in the city before the disaster.

After 2 or 3 hours at the site, say farewell to you guide back at the entrance or, if you selected the transport option, relax and reflect on the return drive to your Naples hotel or the train station. This completely private tour can accommodate up to 10 people without transport or 4 people with transport, making it the ideal way to for small groups and families to experience one of southern Italy's most fascinating and famous historic sites.
