The Civil Forum represents the center of daily life in the city, all the main public buildings overlook it.
The Sanctuary of Apollo is among the oldest places of worship in Pompeii, built in a strategic point. The choice of the god Apollo is due to the Greek and Etruscan presence in Campania.
The Macellum is the city's market. In the center of the courtyard there was a circular structure for selling and cleaning fish.
The Suburban Baths, unlike other thermal facilities, were private. In the changing room there are pictures of erotic subjects that advertised the activities that took place upstairs.
It is one of the largest houses in Pompeii. The wealth and social level of the owner can already be perceived from the street.

We arranged this while on a cruise. Prompt pick up- good communication leading up to our meeting. Our guide was friendly and had lots of good information. Pompeii is a must see place and we are so thankful we could hire a private guide. So much better of an experience. The cost was only slightly more than a group tour and we got a much better experience. Just enough time in the area which is spectacular. We then asked some questions about a place to eat pizza and got a great recommendation. Highly recommend.
Extremely informative. No ticket lines . Visited the entire area. No waiting on others since it's a private group for very little cost more. Well worth it
The tour covered everything as expected and we really appreciated seeing Pompeii. Our guide was knowledgeable and we liked him. However, the pace was too fast for my friend who had trouble keeping up. We could have skipped some of the areas because it was clearly taxing on my friend. Water was promised in the description and was not provided. Minor detail - the car was not as expected in terms of quality or cleanliness
Nino was very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the time with him and the amazing Pompei
Communication prior to the tour was excellent and accurate. Carmen picked us up just outside the cruise terminal, and we walked a short distance to her car before heading to Pompeii. Carmen lives in Pompeii and studied archeology in Naples. As a student, she actually worked on a dig in Pompeii! What a fantastic opportunity we had to walk through Pompeii with a true professional! Carmen maneuvered through the city traffic (which was considerable) and dropped us off in the city center (at our request) so that we could enjoy a pizza and a short walk to the cruise terminal.
Nino was an absolute amazing guide. He picked us up on time. He was in contact via WhatsApp prior to departure and sent a video of his location ahead of time. We travelled on a private tour to Pompeii with 4 of us. Car was mid size for the 4 if us. Would recommend him to anyone
The Pompeii tour with Nino was awesome! He went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 4. I highly recommend his tour.
We booked a private Pompeii tour for the 3 of us. . Our guide, Nino, was so professional + had a wealth of knowledge about the site. Because we were a small group, all the tickets were already printed out + we skipped all the crazy lines. This tour was wonderful + intimate. I would give this tour 5 stars!!
Quite a nice day. Nino was a good guide. Very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. So fortunate that he encouraged us to start early to avoid the holiday crowds. The sites were magnificent and many made you appreciate the unfortunate condition that fell upon these poor souls. A number of the structures were in very good shape, a testament to the engineering of the period.
Perfect if you want everything organised and to get a good overview of Pompeii. Our guide Nino was very friendly and helpful and could answer any questions about the history of Pompeii, the region and Naples!
The tour was really convenient and hassle free. Nino was a really good guide! He is well versed with the history of Pompeii and the surrounding area of Naples. He is very friendly and was able to give us a lot of context to understand the history of the place. The pace of the tour was good. He was very clear in terms of communication, both before the tour and during the tour. He even gave us some recommendations on places to visit after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to experience Pompeii.
While we had some confusion initially setting up the tour, the tour itself went smoothly and professionally. As our ship did not dock where we were told it would, we had some trouble finding our driver; however he persevered and found us! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and energetic. We could readily see her obvious love for Pompeii and its history. We would highly recommend this tour.
Nino was an excellent guide. He took us around Pompeii showing us the important sites including the House of the Vettii, House of the Faun, the forum, the bakery, the theatre, the gymnasium and small museum and the amphitheatre plus other areas of interest. He spoke English well and even walked back to car to bring it to us after we finished (so we didn't have to walk all the way back). Nice tour and would highly recommend. Thanks Nino!
We wanted to let you know we were involved in an accident yesterday. We were rear ended on the road. We stopped for several minutes. The driver did not seem to be concerned. The tour was great but we had a hard time understanding his English. Thank you
We had a great tour with Nino! Nino picked us up from the cruise port which was really helpful! He took us to the major sites of Pompeii at a comfortable pace. He is very knowledgable about the history of Pompeii and Naples. We were captivated by his story telling. Afterwards, he took us back to Naples and arranged for us to have pizzas at a famous pizzeria in Naples, the birthplace of pizza! We have a wonderful visit with Nino!
Nino was excellent!! He responded to my questions before our tour in a very timely manner. He was very clear about exactly when and where to meet him. He is very knowledgeable and funny too. He accessed our group’s capabilities and adjusted to them. We loved him and the tour. We would take any tour with Nino.
What a wonderful guide Nino has been for us. He is very knowledgable about Pompeii and the surrounding area. He was extremely kind and accommodating and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Naples. Thank you Nino!
Personal tour with just 4 of us so we weren’t dealing with lots of people. We could ask questions, spend more time on some areas and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Nino is a passionate and great tour guide he is relaxed and fun to go out with. Me and my girlfriend had a great time with Nino he can explain a lot of Pompeii in details and gives you a lot of options in the private tour. Thanks Nino forza Napoli! Regards, Nick van Wegen (ajax)
