On this small group tour, your expert guide will bring to life the ruins of Pompeii and ancient Roman civilisation. This impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases a vivid snapshot of daily Roman life that was destroyed and buried under volcanic ash from the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Maria, one of our local guides, says ‘You’ll see elegant villas decorated with brilliant frescoes and precious mosaics, and get a feel for life as it was lived in ancient Pompeii’. As you enter the site, you’ll see the sheer scale of what’s been preserved for more than 2,000 years. Walk among the ruins, tracing their cobbled paths until you reach the hub of daily life – the Forum. Look up at the centaur statue, ancient columns and more. Walking through Pompeii is like leafing through the pages of a living history book. You can almost picture the Romans socialising in the bathing areas. Step into private homes and visit the amphitheatre, one of the oldest surviving in the world.
Discover the archeological site of Pompeii with an expert local guide. Join this small group tour and marvel at the breathtaking ruins of the "buried town" while you listen to its fascinating history.

Novella was an excellent guide. She was so knowledgable and passionate that we were enthralled throughout. She explained everything so clearly and always asked us if we had any questions. She was fantastic with our children, catering the tour to their interests. Thank you so much!
We had a comprehensive tour of lots of key locations throughout pompeii. It wasn’t too long and our 7 year was interested and engaged throughout.
My partner and i had a great experience i. Pompeii. Alissa was a wonderful guide and extremely knowledgeable, felt like a truly personal experience. If i was able to book with Alissa personally I would have, 5 stars doesnt feel like enough for her.
Fabulous tour with Alessa. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful experience, we relived the city of Pompeii as if we had been there at the time before its temporary disappearance. And great praise for all this must be attributed to our guide Novella... very expert and very engaging, in addition to the charm of the history itself.
An experience that manages to transport you into the past and make you relive various aspects of the life of ancient peoples. Our guide, Ms. Novella, is a truly special person; she managed to keep our attention high and make the various aspects of life at the time come alive without ever boring us; very detailed and clear in her explanations. A truly nice, spontaneous, easygoing, and most importantly... very knowledgeable guide.
Tour Guide, Francesco was fantastic! We booked a small group tour and it was just us! He did an incredible job explaining the history and highlights. His knowledge of the city was impressive. 10/10, would recommend!
The guide Novella was wonderful. Unique experience, detailed information, and lots of interesting facts. The guide will transport you into a wonderful world, more alive than ever. Absolutely not to be missed if you visit Pompeii!
It was a wonderful experience thanks to our guide, Mrs. Novella, who was very kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional
Wonderful site. Our guide, an archaeologist, made us love this place and appreciate even more what it represents. A pleasant and very interesting visit even for children; my 8-year-old daughter followed it step by step without missing a single curiosity. Very comfortable headsets.
