Additional Information

To avoid the summer heat and throngs of tourists at Pompeii, it is recommended to explore the archaeological site as others begin to leave, especially on summer days when it’s open until 7:30 pm.

Experience what it was like back in 79 AD when daily life in Pompeii was suddenly frozen in time.

Entering through the Marina Gate, your journey will take you past the harbour area and onto the Forum, the hub of Roman religious, commercial, and civic life. You will witness both private and public aspects of Roman existence, including the Temple of Apollo, the Basilica, public baths, eateries and bread shops, residences and private villas, narrow streets and red-light districts, the Large Theater, the Odeion, and Quadriportico Square.

Pompeii is so expansive that a complete exploration could take a couple of days. With the assistance of a tour guide, you’ll gain insights into the inhabitants’ lifestyles as you tour houses, shops, and admire the fresco paintings, mosaic floors, and inscriptions.

Highlight of our trip! - I would give this experience more stars if I could! My son really wanted to do this, as for the rest of us, it was not apart of our bucket list item. However, all four of us left with a wonderful experience! It was a highlight of our trip! And our guide, Hugo, was the very best! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating! We have been talking about what we learned ever since and even looking up more information. If you are thinking about doing it without a guide you may not find your experience as worthwhile. Hugo told us things we would have never known! Big thank you to him! I also highly recommend going late in the evening, 5pm-7pm was perfect! We had Pompei to ourselves and it was the most magical time!

Pompeii late afternoon tour - Gennaro was a great guide and walked at a nice pace giving us great insight into ancient Pompeii before the eruption. Would definitely recommend this tour - especially as it is later in the day after the larger crowds and heat have dissipated.

Pompei is a must. - Pompei is remarkable place and a must visit of any Italian vacation. Our guide Luigi, made the tour memorable, his knowledge and insight transported us 2000+ years back in time to fully appreciate the experience.

Memorable enjoyable experience - Gennaro was a wonderful guide. We were a family group with seniors, adults and children. The information about Pompei and it's people was provided in a manner that was very relatable. We toured at 5pm. There would have been no shade earlier in the day so we avoided crowds and high temperatures. Best time to see the ruins.
