POMPEII GUIDED TOUR

The life of the ancient city of Pompeii and of its inhabitants ended abruptly in 79 AD, when, following the eruption of Vesuvius, it was covered under about six meters of ash and lapilli.

The excavations of the city, which began in 1748 and are still in progress, have brought to light this important archaeological site which, in 1997, became one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Discover the ruins of the Roman city in an exclusive way by skipping the long lines at the entrance. Admire the perfectly preserved places, frescoes, houses and everyday objects and look for the world-famous plaster casts frozen over time. Trust the experience and professionalism of our certified guides in a 2-hour tour that will take you to discover the ruins of a great metropolis of the past where you can see the main points to fully enjoy an unforgettable experience.
