This 2-hour classic tour will give travelers the chance to discover the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, buried by the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in the 79 AD eruption.
The guide specialized in archaeology shows the best highlights like the Forum – the main square of the city – the main houses and buildings, and also the plaster casts – the dead bodies of the Pompeiians emerged by the excavations.
Pompeii has been inscribed in the World Heritage Patrimony from the UNESCO Committee since it gives a clear picture of the Roman society and daily life at a specific moment in the past, nothing else similar exists in the world. A 2-hour guided tour with an Archaeologist will help understand what life was like during the Roman Empire and give the feeling that tourists have time travelled to that specific moment.

Pompeii Tour was so informative, our guide Eduardo was engaging and professional. We were able to spend enough time in each location taking photos and asking questions. Eduardo’s knowledge of Pompeii really enabled us to understand the history, politics and people of this city. Would recommend this tour. The crowds and acreage of this space made choosing this tour a really good choice.

We hired the private service for Pompeii and Herculaneum in September 2023. Walter accompanied us as a guide and he was spectacular, a guide 10. And we also had private transportation and the driver took us wonderfully, Francesco Calenda, in Naples driving is dangerous but Francesco He did it in luxury and gave us a lot of security and the vehicle was impeccable. Both services are highly recommended.

This was a wonderful experience. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Sergio Pisco, was extremely knowledgeable of the history and happenings and discoveries of Pompeii. His humor about life in Pompeii added to the historical basis. We like the small group tour idea even though we all had headphones to hear what Sergio described. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pompeii. After the tour we continued to explore more of the area since the tour does not cover every corner of Pompeii. One would need many hours to see everything there. Be sure to wear comfortable closed walking shoes. These are very old roads with large volcanic rocks. Truly an amazing site.

Sergio was a great tour guide. We chose the two hour tour. Sergio made this an interesting, informative and engaging couple of hours. Although the tour covered selected highlights only, we highly recommend.

Great and interesting tour with Paolo. He showed us the main sites and explained the history very well. We didn’t have time to see everything but he advised us on how to continue our experience at Pompeii.
