2 hours Pompeii Tour with Local Historian - Ticket Included
Description
During this unforgettable tour, a licensed archaeology guide will take you through the captivating ruins of Pompeii. As you retrace the footsteps of the Romans, you’ll also see the poignant plaster casts of the victims of the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius — a powerful and emotional reminder of the city’s tragic end. To ensure the best possible experience, the itinerary may be adapted according to crowd conditions and site accessibility. However, you will always visit key highlights from each major area, including a temple, a villa, a market, and other important sites. The guided portion inside the ruins lasts approximately 2 hours, offering a rich and immersive exploration of the archaeological site. Before entering the ancient city, you’ll enjoy a brief stop at a traditional cameo workshop, where skilled artisans hand-carve delicate designs from shells. Note: In accordance with regional regulations, access to the site is free on the first Sunday of each month.

Nina was our guide. It was a very interesting experience, and the guide was very knowledgeable and well-prepared. I recommend it
Our driver and tour guide were great. It was easy to find them at the dock and they communicated well. The archeological guide at Pompei was very knowledgeable and also very kind. He tailored the route we took for my elderly parents and was even kind enough to offer an arm for support when needed. There were kids in out group as well and he was sure not to include anything to graphic, so as to be sensitive to their age. We were very happy with our tour.
Our family has been travelling through Italy and did a one night stop in Napoli to purposely see Pompeii. The experience started off with our driver Antonio Carola picking up at our hotel. He was on time and his bus converted to a convertible so fantastic! Once we arrived in Pompeii we greeted by our guide Anna Vetrone with a warm smile bubbly personality and fantastic knowledge of Pompeii. We would highly recommend this tour with Anna and Antonio. Their attention to detail made the experience next level. Best Regards The Muto Family
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful highlight of your family's Italian journey! We wish your family a safe and wonderful continuation of your travels through Italy, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
