The city of Pompeii, settled at the Volcano Vesuvius slopes, had been buried during the 79 BC Vulcanic eruption. Today, after more than 2000 years from that natural disaster, you can enter and walk around one of the oldest cities in the world. Your guide will lead you at the discovery of the highlights of the Greek-Roman settlement. Be ready to live a full-immersive experience into the ancient customs and traditions, all spiced up with “gossip” and stories of the main characters of the time. Among the main features, your will see the "Palestra" (gym), the theatres, the Temple of Isis, the Baths, the Forum, the House of Menander, and the Lupanariae. Then, walking a little off the beaten track, you will explore the new open domus - the houses of aristocracy of the Romans times: The Domus of Venus; the house of Octavius Quartius; the house of the fruit trees; the house of Giulia Felice, a modern woman who used her rooms as a SPA and rented them for parties.

Our tour of Pompei
Castello was the best tour guide I have ever had. He explained the ruins that I felt like I was listening to an intriguing storybook. I feel I captured more retained information than I have from past tours. 5 stars Excellent!

Sorrento
Highly recommend Giulia and her company for booking private transfers to go to Sorrento or Amalfi. Very quick to reply to any questions and the driver Lisa was amazing. We also did a private tour to Pompeii with our guide Roberta and she was so informative and kept the kids interested. Can’t go wrong booking with this company. 5 stars for sure.

The best way to see Pompeii
This tour was fantastic from beginning to end. Giulia (a travel booker with the company) was friendly and communicative at all times – she gave me great advice and helped me every step of the way in booking and preparing the tour. She arranged a comfortable and spacious van to pick my family up in Positano and the drive around Sorento coast to Pompeii was great – Marco our driver was informative and friendly. We were met at Pompeii by our guide, Italo, skipped the line (the crowds in June-July are huge!) and started an amazing tour of the ruins of Pompeii. Italo was knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about Pompeii - it was obvious he knew his stuff and loved the town. This really was one of our holiday highlights so thank you to the team at Loretta’s.
PS: it is hot in Pompeii June-July with very little shade: wear loose fitting clothing an take along plenty of water.

Pompeii and Herculaneum tour
What a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We were picked up at the front door of our hotel in Sorrento by Leeza, our driver. She was great! She told us a lot of information about the towns we were driving through while on our way to Pompeii and even stopped along the road for us to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Once at Pompeii we met our guide, Rosanna, who was the best! She is an art history major and even took some college classes from one of the archaeologists who helped make discoveries at Herculaneum. We cannot imagine doing this tour any other way! It was beyond helpful to have a guide with so much knowledge and interesting information!
