Stop At: Archaeological Park Of Pompeii Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region, near the coast of the Bay of Naples. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.
Stop At: Begin your journey at Porta Marina, the dramatic entrance that once welcomed sailors and merchants. Walking through its steep, vaulted tunnel, you’ll feel the transition from the modern world into the perfectly preserved streets of the ancient Roman city.
Stop At: Foro De Pompeya Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included The Civil Forum is the core of daily life of the city and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets, as well as the main places of citizen worship.
Stop At: Tempio Di Giove Capitolino The Temple of Jupiter dominates the north side of the Forum, with Mount Vesuvius scenically rising behind. When the colony was founded (80 BC), the temple underwent a radical renovation and became a real Capitolium with the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which looked like those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base so as to make them visible to whoever passed in the Forum square.
Stop At: Casa Del Fauno The House of the Faun (Casa del Fauno) is one of the largest and most luxurious private residences in Pompeii, occupying an entire city block. Named after the iconic bronze statue of a dancing faun found in its main atrium, the house is a masterpiece of Roman architecture and Hellenistic influence. It is most famous for housing the magnificent Alexander Mosaic, which depicts the battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia. With its two peristyle gardens and intricate floor mosaics, it remains a powerful symbol of the immense wealth and sophisticated taste of the city's elite.
Stop At: Via Dell’abbondanza Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included Via dell’Abbondanza was the ancient main street (decumanus maximus) of ancient Pompeii, which ran across the city in the direction east/west from the Forum to the Porta Sarno.
In ancient times the street was crowded and noisy with many shops, workshops ("officinae”), cafes, snack-bars and restaurants for food and drink.
Stop At: Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane) Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included The Forum Baths are located behind the Temple of Jupiter and date back to the years immediately after the founding of the colony of veterans by General Silla (80 BC). Women's and men's quarters had separate entrances. The men's section presents an apodyterium (dressing room), used also as a tepidarium (for medium temperature baths), frigidarium (for cold baths) and calidarium (for hot baths). Like many buildings in Pompeii, the baths were heavily damaged during the earthquake of 62 AD.
Stop At: Macellum The Macellum consists of a tuff quadriporticus with a hall for worship in an elevated position on the eastern side, in line with the entrance. The copies of two marble statues, a female and a male armed, are found on the niches of the side wall, together with the fragment of a larger statue, probably pertaining to an emperor, Titus or Vespasian, indicating how this area was intended for the imperial cult. To its left is a room for meetings of a sacred board and to the right a large room with a masonry counter perhaps for fish to be sold.
Stop At: Villa Dei Misteri Via delle Ville (often referred to as the path to the Villa of the Mysteries) is a scenic road located outside Pompeii’s city walls, leading away from the Porto Ercolano gate. This ancient route is famous for connecting the urban center to the suburbs, passing through a significant necropolis lined with impressive tombs. Its most famous destination is the Villa of the Mysteries, a suburban estate renowned for its breathtaking frescoes depicting Dionysian rites, offering a quiet, atmospheric contrast to the bustling city streets.
Stop At: Teatro Grande The Teatro Grande is a majestic horseshoe-shaped auditorium built into a natural hillside, designed to hold roughly 5,000 spectators. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, it was the first Greek-style stone theater in Pompeii and served as the city's primary venue for comedies, tragedies, and pantomimes. The theater features a grand tiered seating area and a large stage background (scenae frons), offering a spectacular look at how the Roman elite and commoners alike enjoyed large-scale public entertainment.
Stop At: Pompei La Basilica The Basilica is one of the most significant buildings in Pompeii, located at the southwest corner of the Forum. Constructed in the 2nd century BC, it served as the city’s primary center for legal and commercial activities, acting as both a courthouse and a place for business transactions. Its monumental interior featured a central nave surrounded by towering columns and a raised tribunal where judges presided over hearings. As the oldest building of its kind in the Roman world, it stands as a fundamental example of pre-imperial civic architecture.
Stop At: Lupanar Explore the Lupanar, the largest and only purpose-built brothel in ancient Pompeii. This two-story building offers a rare glimpse into the city's social life, featuring ten small rooms with original stone beds and remarkably preserved frescoes.
Stop At: Basilica The Basilica, with its extension of 1,500 square meters, was the most sumptuous building of the Forum, and its space was used to carry out business and for the administration of justice.

Amazing Place but Demanding Walking Environment Harold_J
Sep 14, 2026, 11:36:01 AM This tour was good but not great. one of the problems was it was so crowded that day. It was very difficult to hear our tour guide was very knowledgeable but she spoke very fast and the headsets they use are terrible. They absolutely need to invest in better communications equipment. This tour is demanding, there is not a level place to walk and be prepared to walk long distances in that environment.
Be prepared for the heat and no shade. Take a water bottle, hat/umbrella, good walking shoes, and fan. We did a half day tour and felt we got a good overview.
Best guide for Italy Daniella, MimimelissagJ7233QJ
This was a trip from Sorrento. Not Naples as I had to pick from above, there was no option to pick the correct tour. It’s explained below. The company was Iamme iA! Hopefully you will get Daniela & MiMi they were superior tour guides. We went to Pompeii. They were knowledgeable, personable. they explained things that I did not even know! Also, they were very fun. Had great senses of humor. The whole day was just incredible. We booked through Get Your Guide. I recommend this way because you skip the line. It’s a more intimate experience. And it’s just a fabulous tour group. If you don’t book this way, you’re going miss out. I also left something on the bus. And didn’t realize it till I was halfway back to our Airbnb. So I went to their office, and David helped me by calling the driver and retrieving my item. È stata un’esperienza favolosa!
Pompeii 1/2 Day TourmikepW2830ZJ
The traffic consumed much more of our time than anticipated and the group was large (almost 50 people. Was supposed to be broke. Up into 3 groups but wound up in two large groups. The bus tour guide (Danielle) and the Pompeii tour guide (Mel) were excellent. Ask for them if you can when booking. The group was large and you had to move fast. The terrain was challenging but Mel made the tour very informative and, with her passion, brought to life what is was like to live in Pompeii 2700 years ago.
The best way to experience PompeiiY2148SRcarolinej
This Pompeii tour was fantastic! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the history of Pompeii really come alive. Skipping the long lines saved so much time, and the air-conditioned coach made the transfer comfortable. We loved exploring the ancient villas, temples, and frescoes. A truly unforgettable experience! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Naples and Pompeii.
Oct 15, 2025, 12:03:32 PM great tour, so much to see. tour guide was friendly and fun. many interesting facts. needed more time to explore.
Daniella was very organized, kind & informative. Pasquale - AN INCREDIBLE DRIVER!! We were 1st in the morning - great photo opportunity.
Absolutely must seevanessaaH1704IX
Absolutely must see. Also, our guide Patrizia was excellent, very knowledgeable, told us many different interesting details.
Well organised, tour guide informative. Transfer coach lacked air con which was a little uncomfortable.
Very informative Garret_K
I really enjoyed the time we spent at Pompeii and the guide was very knowledgeable. I just wish the meeting pont was a bit more clear. Many tour groups meet at the same point and it isn't really clear which is which of course that can be stressful since if you get in the wrong group or miss it all together.
May 22, 2024, 11:09:12 AM The tour guide was very knowledgeable. And able to answer questions. It stayed on schedule and we were well look after.
I did not give it a five because the pick up bus Was late and we actually have to walk to meet it. The meeting point was actually different than where the bus will pick us up.
Great excursionEleanortt99
Sep 19, 2023, 12:37:30 PM Great excursion to Pompeii, just as described and value for money! Highly recommend to all. Nothing more to say…
Our host Valeria greeted us with a warm welcome and a big smile. Our tour guide, Simone was a wealth of knowledge. We did not feel rushed and gave us ample time to take photos.
we did the Pompeii tour,...Danielle_S
Jul 12, 2023, 10:37:31 AM we did the Pompeii tour, not the Vesuvius hike. it was half day. the guide was hard to hear and it was extremely crowded. he was knowledgeable but it was very hot and we dont really know if the guide brought us to the best places in the park.
Great Day in Pompeii!NoochPgh
Oct 10, 2019, 11:34:50 AM Our tour guide Vincenzo was fantastic. Very knowledgeable without being boring. Kept our interest the whole time in Pompeii. The winery visit afterward was exquisite. Would highly recommend this tour!
Great guide, great wine, great comboRobin B
Gennaro was knowledgeable, entertaining and kept us in the shade (mostly!) on our 2 hour Pompeii tour. Crazy hot day, and 2 hours was plenty to grasp this tragic bit of history. The segue to a relaxing lunch and wine tasting of grapes unique to the lava based soil gave us a fascinating perspective on Vesuvius, that looming volcano over southern Italy. Would recommend this combo until Vesuvius blows again.

Andrew was a great tour guide. Found shade in just about every stopping point. Lots of fun facts and interactive. Pack lots of water. Winery tour was quaint. Good and wine were amazing!

<p>This was a nice size for a group, and a relatively early arrival time to the site which is always a plus. Our guide was efficient and informative, while also managing the hectic atmosphere of many different groups all trying to see the same things. This is a great trip for those who are looking to get a feel for what happened here but are otherwise put off by the traditional museum shuffle. The wine tasting was a nice way to cap off the afternoon, allowing time to chat with the others in the group and learn a bit more about how Vesuvius influences the varietals of the region.</p>

Jul 11, 2017, 12:48:30 AM <p>Tour was great. Ride to Pompeii was beautiful and guide did a nice job of explaining what we were going to see in Pompeii and the history. Once in Pompeii, the guide again did a great job of pointing out the history and even the little things that we would have missed if we had chosen a self guided tour. Quite a few tourists were trying to tag along with our small 8 person group as our guide was so interesting. The wine tour was also very enjoyable with a quick, but thorough walk though the vineyards and then a delicious lunch in the beautiful restaurant with generous tastes of eight different wines. I would most definitely say this tour was worth every penny!!</p>

<p>We boarded our tour bus and proceeded to Pompei I am not a history fan so wasn't sure exactly how the day would pan out but I needn't have worried I found the Pompei experience so interesting and so carefully explained to us it was fascinating. Josephine did an excellent job both at Pompei and after at the vineyard of Sorrentino where we were given a tour of the vineyard followed by a gorgeous lunch and wine tasting, excellent value for money would commend this trip to all.</p>

<p>We had a full day booking but sadly there were not enough people on it. <br/>
We were a bit surprised that the company informed us about it late the day before,<br/>
but luckily we could still do the half day Pompeii Tour.<br/>
We were very happy with this half day trip, and the guide Fabrizio showed us in 2 hours<br/>
a comprehensive overview . You need weeks to see Pompeii, but we were very happy<br/>
with our morning. Can recommend it.</p>
This tour was an excellent balance of...Brian F
<p>This tour was an excellent balance of the history of Pompeii and the beauty and relaxing environment of a fantastic family vineyard at the base of Mount Vesuvio. This was a wonderful small group tour, with plenty of time in see Pompeii, and finish off the day with a terrific wine and local food tasting experience at the Sorrentino family vineyard. Five Star!!!</p>
Pompeii to experience805burmese
Well planned tour, dedicated guide. Procedure was different than described, but there was more time in the individual houses in Pompeii.
Jul 13, 2023, 12:28:25 PM Las visitas a las casas y la explicación del guía fenomenal. Cada detalle, desde el inicio. Se esmeraba
