Description
Visit the ruins of ancient Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and preserved almost intact for centuries. The tour will give you a glimpse of its inhabitants’ lifestyle and the astonishing number of villas, shops and public buildings that archaeologists brought back to light. Stop along the way to a local factory to learn more about the process of Cameos and Corals craft, jewels made out of corals and seashells (if time permits).
During this 2-hour tour of Pompeii, you will learn about the daily life of Romans in the 1st century AD. Walk through the theater, where citizens enjoyed performances; along the ancient shopping street full of preserved bakeries and pizzerias; and, take you to see the house of the richest man in Pompeii. From there, you will get to see the traditional sites of Pompeii, including the necropolis, forum, and bath houses.

Good tour and good guides, everything very clear. I recommend it.
A fantastic experience in Pompeii! The tour was very well organized and, above all, very well explained. The guides Mohamed, Cristian, Mario, and Roberta did an excellent job, conveying the history of Pompeii in a clear, pleasant, and entertaining way.
It is clear that they know the place very well and that they enjoy explaining it. They helped us better understand what life was like in ancient Pompeii, and all the details made the visit much more interesting.
Highly recommended, both for the quality of the explanations and for the treatment by the guides. We would definitely do it again!

Disappointing and pricey for what we received
Disappointing to say the least. The scheduled time for the bus somehow changed, but we were still able to attend on another bus. Part of the reason I chose this tour was that it picked us up from our hotel which was convenient. The ride there and back was great, but for $100 person I should have taken an uber and bought the tickets and the iPod listening tour and map when we arrived. Our guide just pointed to the map and let us go for two hours. The map/recorded tour were not in sync which made it confusing. We did our best, but two hours didn’t do it justice which became frustrating. For nearly $400 it was overpriced for the lack of service. I would not recommend this tour. We prefer better engagement at the venue.
