The Forum of Pompeii is a Roman forum, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and found following the archaeological excavations of ancient Pompeii. The structure was the main square of the city and represented the political, economic and religious center where demonstrations, commercial negotiations and debates took place; it is, of its kind, one of the best preserved of the ancient Italic cities.
The Macellum of Pompeii was located on the Forum and as the provision market (or macellum) of Pompeii was one of the focal points of the ancient city. The building was constructed in several phases. When the earthquake of 62 CE destroyed large parts of Pompeii, the Macellum was also damaged. Archeological excavations in the modern era have revealed a building that had still not been fully repaired by the time of the eruption of 79 CE.
The House of the Faun (Italian: Casa del Fauno), built during the 2nd century BC, was one of the largest and most impressive private residences in Pompeii, Italy, and housed many great pieces of art. It is one of the most luxurious aristocratic houses from the Roman republic, and reflects this period better than most archaeological evidence found even in Rome itself.
The Teatro Grande is a Roman theater, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and found following the archaeological excavations of ancient Pompeii: inside it were represented comedies, mimes and pantomimes, as well as the atellane.
The Via dell’Abbondanza is the Lower Decumanus of Pompeii. The name derives from a bas-relief that adorns a fountain placed in the initial section, near the Forum. The road connects in its long route the major nuclei of the city between the Forum and Porta Sarno, such as the Forum, the Stabian Baths, the Theaters, the Temple of Isis and the Amphitheater. Unearthed at the beginning of this century, it is still rich in its decorations, which is why it is the liveliest route in visiting the excavations. Along it there are many of the most beautiful houses, some with two floors; these are residences of the rich Pompeian bourgeoisie, such as the Casa del Criptoportico, the Casa dei Casti Amanti, the Casa di Giulio Polibio, the Casa di Loreius Tiburtinus, the Casa della Venere in Conchiglia and the Villa di Giulia Felice.

The city was destroyed by the Volcano Vesuvius 79 AD, killing more than 2,000 in a matter of minutes, the city was protected by walls and located north of Naples. Today houses a fantastic history of the past.

GRAZIE GRAZIE GRAZIE siamo contenti che la nsotra idea di divertimento vi sia piaciuta ed avete trovate utile il nostro servizio, vi aspettiamo epr nuove avventure insieme
Pompeii was very impressive. The guide provided us with a lot of interesting information. He was funny and tried very hard to show and explain a lot to us. The drive to Pompeii was also good. The driver picked us up on time at the meeting point and also picked us up on time afterwards. We were very pleased.
Siamo veramente contenti che vi sia piaciuto il nostro tour, cerchiamo sempre conferme per far si che tutti possano rimanere soddisfatti dal nostro lavoro. Vi aspettiamo ancora
The tour was a great way to see the ruins and understand what it was like back in the day. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and explained in great detail many of the different sites. The ancient ruins are an unbelievale site, a must see.
grazie grazie grazie per aver partecipato e per aver apprezzato la ostra proposta ed il nostro lavoro, ancora grazie
Booked with the office near the train station, were promised pick up from our hotel. WhatsApp message in the evening saying the bus couldn't get to our hotel (narrow lanes) and giving a new pick up point a short distance away. I checked the link they sent me (this is the simplified version) and confirmed the road name. The link placed us halfway down this road where there was a car parking area so we waited there next morning. After 15 mins I rang the office and got someone who didn't at first seem to know what I was talking about, then told me that the bus was waiting for us at the pickup point I asked where that was and whether we could walk there but he didn't know where we were! Eventually he told us to go back to our hotel and as we walked away a car driver pulled up and told us he was taking us to the bus, now at another hotel. It seems we should have walked on a short distance to the junction with the main road, which no-one had mentioned. Had they phoned me we could have sorted this out but though I had warned them not to use WhatsApp because I can't get data on my phone I found a missed call from them when I got home. So, got there and were sent off on our tour and were told where and when we were to be picked up. This battered, vintage minibus pulled up. It had the company name on the side and the driver was the one who had picked us up with his car so we and the others got in. No seat belts, the seats slid forward every time he braked, no air-conditioning (but the windows were open) and not much in the way of suspension. It was a very uncomfortable ride BUT, on the plus side, not being worried about his paintwork he took us right to our hotel. So, they got us there and back but it was not the easy trip we had been promised and company's communications were extremely poor. We would not use them again.
The tour included a guided visit through the city, learning about the city buried as a result of a volcanic eruption that lasted three days. Our visit was in summer of July, it was hot, so walk with water and comfortable shoes.
Great tour and amazing historical facts shared by the guide. Pompei is great and I highly recommend it.
We had a guided tour of pompeii. It was really informative. Only drawback is, it would be better to be here for a whole day.
Exciting visit. Skillful guide - who could tell many exciting stories about the area and its history. The trip from our hotel to Pompaji took place in extremely old minibuses. Could doubt whether they were legal 👍
Interesting tour experience, Mr. Maurizio's impeccable Transfer Service. Person of great heart and very helpful, made us feel immediately at home. The only scooter ride at sunset on the Sorrento coast. Thank you so much to Sixth Continent!
