Pompeii Small Group With Archeological Tour Guide Expertise

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.

Hop into this small group adventure and step back to 79 AD. Walk the same streets and peek inside the buildings that saw the rise of the Roman Empire. Pompeii’s frozen in time, thanks to Vesuvius, and you’ll explore it all with a local guide who’ll show you the hidden gems. As you stroll through the ancient roads, you’ll get a taste of daily life — from the theaters to the temples, and even ancient bathhouses. Along the way, you’ll see how the Romans lived high on the hog, with innovations way ahead of their time. 2 Hours Guided Tour (English) Skip the Line Ticket included!

Pompeii has always been a fascinating archeological site, known for its incredible size and amazing preservation. Having an archeologist as a guide in such a small group( 8 pax) it's a really important detail which will allow you to absorb as much as you can from someone who spent its all life studying and working on it in a really intimate group! Thanks to the skip the line formula you will be straight in starting from Porta Marina Superiore, one of the main gate of the city, to continue to the Baths House, the most important Domus and the famous plaster casts (covered bodies). At the end of the tour you will feel like you lived a day like the Romans and you discovered their main cults and traditions.

This day tour will allow you to visit two unmissable places in southern Italy, the archaeological park of Pompeii, where you will be amazed at what has remained intact in the city and daily life of the inhabitants of the time. You can not miss the walk to the crater of Vesuvius, the volcano that rises behind ancient Pompeii, which with its eruption caused the destruction of the city.

This tour unfolds in two parts: the first takes place at Pompeii where we will fully explore the excavated city in its entirety and, almost like phantoms we will sneak in and observe the lives of the inhabitants in the days just before the catastrophe. The second part of the tour will take place in the galleries of the Archeological Museum of Naples. The frescoes, statues, handcrafts, and jewels that had remained for centuries under the lava and then brought to light during the excavations were slowly collected and brought together to form the nucleus of Museum's collections. They have no equivalent in any other museum in the world. Mosaics such as the Battle of Alexander the Great, the Traveling Musicians, and the Academy of Plato are surprising to say the least, and we will engage with the stories they recount, the places where they were found, the political, social significance they had in the context of Roman culture.
