Full description
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the famous archaeological site of Pompeii with an expert official guide. Thanks to your priority entry tickets you will skip the stress of the long line, leaving more time to explore. Accompanied by the guide, you'll explore the main features of the ancient city including the baths, bakeries and much more. Pompeii holds an intense fascination for visitors today. Following the eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the 79 A.D., Pompeii lay buried and forgotten for hundreds of years. The town is high on the list of the wonders of the world, and the excavations begun in the 18th century still continues to this day. Your guide will take you through some of the ancient streets of Pompeii, where you can see baths, forums and villas built by the prosperous Romans in the year 80 B.C. Marvel at the fabulously preserved frescoes which adorned the walls and floors of the villas. Even if your interests do not lie in history, this is an archaeological site that cannot fail to impress you.

This was an excellent tour around Pompeii. The guide was excellent and also provided information and history about local areas on the route to the site. The tour lasted just over 2 hours which was plenty of time for the guide to cover lots of ground around the site and deliver extremely insightful information. We tour group was 35 people and the sound equipment was good to hear the guide clearly throughout. From start to finish, the tour including travelling time lasted 6 hours which was 2 hours longer than advertised. There was heavy traffic but this seems to be a common event in the area so I would expect the tour to last at least 5 hours to take this into account, but don't let this put you off.

Great and timely! Not too much info, or too much time spent in one place, saw all the important houses, baths, examples of shops and snack bars etc. had time to take the important pictures with Vesuvius in the background! Our guide was also sweet enough to let us choose our last site to visit before our time was up! She was lovely, making sure to find shade, as it was hot in the 80s. Lots of dust/ make sure to wear appropriate footwear! The bus ride was very efficient, and nicely air conditioned. All in all, my group is not much for all day museum or archeological site visits, so this tour was perfect for us! Enough info and sites to get the feel of it all, but not too long where your bored or sweating to death! Highly recommend

Overall, this was an excellent tour. Transport went smoothly (although depated a little late). Easy access into the exhibition and pur tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Informative, personable and very attentive to the groups needs. All in all I would highly recommend this tour. Although this is only half a day, I would recommend taking plenty of water and maybe a snack to keep you going.
