Meet the Guide at the train station of Pompeii nearby the archeological site and begin an incredible journey back into the past !
Your private local licensed Pompeii guide will take you on a fascinating tour through this once thriving empire of nearly 20,000 inhabitants that was completely covered in 30 feet of volcanic ash.
You will be guided in the baths, villas, theatres and wrestling ground for about three hours.
This tour includes the visit to the Villa of the Mysteries.
This wonderful Villa is one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the past century named for the paintings in one room of the residence. This space may have been a triclinium, and is decorated with very fine frescoes. Although the actual subject of the frescoes is hotly debated, the most common interpretation of the images is scenes of the initiation of a woman into a special cult of Dionysus, a mystery cult that required specific rites and rituals to become a member.

The Villa of Mysteries - additional Eur8 charge. Well worth it. This site is just outside of Pompeii proper which you can reach via the necropolis - street of tombs. The art-work here is exceptional because of the life sized figures. It reminds me so much of early Renaissance Art by Masaccio / Masolino in Florence - Cappella Brancacci. The board describes the scene vignettes to help explain what is being depicited.
