Tour Options
Itinerary
Archaeological Park of Pompeii
See Pompeii’s ancient piazza and Forum, where business dealings, elections, speeches and processions would have played out during Roman times. Wander the site, marvel at the ancient limestone columns still standing today and capture the centuries-old scenery on camera. Continue onward with your guide to the thermal baths, where many of the townsfolk would have bathed, chatted and lived out their daily lives before the eruption. Wander down Via degli Augustali and discover the Lupanare, Pompeii’s brothel. A 2-storey building with five rooms on each floor, the Lupanare is decorated with some of the city’s most lustful frescoes. Your exact route will depend on the crowds and weather conditions.

Great tour of Pompeii in 2 hours
This was a great tour, that allowed us to see the highlights of Pompeii. Our guide Michaela was engaging, informative and had a sense of humour. Would recommend this trip, although we were given free time before the tour started and afterwards, which we would have preferred not to have.

Again, a very unorganized start. Very difficult to find starting point. Then a very nice experience.. guide was knowledgeable and entertaining

Pompeii
Tour was wonderful. From being picked up in front of our hotel, driving through the chaotic traffic of Napoli, to the tour itself, everything was fun. Our guide, whose name I forgot, was fabulous. He was full of knowledge and a lot of humor. We loved every minute of it. My only wish is that is that instead of free time outside of the museum I wish he would have told us we could spend that extra free time in the museum. It didn’t detract from the tour, it’s was a truly remarkable place and tour. Would highly recommend!

A lot of walking and uneven pavers. Elderly visitors will have to use caution. Difficult to understand tour leader.
