Full Description
Step back nearly two thousand years and explore one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological sites on our Ancient Pompeii Walking Tour. With your expert private guide, you’ll walk through remarkably preserved streets, homes, baths, and public spaces that reveal what daily life looked like before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Clear explanations, engaging storytelling, and an itinerary shaped around your interests make this experience both educational and unforgettable.
Your guide brings Pompeii’s ancient citizens to life through vivid stories about merchants, families, artisans, and entertainers who once filled these lively streets. You’ll visit highlights such as the Forum, the Baths, the Theater, and beautifully decorated domus with intact frescoes and mosaics.
Families can request a kid-friendly guide who uses games, visuals, and fun storytelling to keep children engaged without overwhelming them.
You may also extend your day to explore more of the region. Pair your Pompeii tour with a guided visit to Mount Vesuvius, a trip to the colorful islands of Capri or Sorrento, the dramatic scenery of the Amalfi Coast, the superbly preserved ruins of Herculaneum, or even cultural treasures in Naples. These customizable add-ons allow you to craft a full day that perfectly suits your travel plans.
This tour offers the ideal balance of history, exploration, and personalization—perfect for travelers of all ages who want to experience the real heart of ancient Italy.
