What to expect
Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii for two hours alongside an expert guide, who will take you around the ancient city preserved by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius' eruption in AD 79.
Start by skipping the line at Porta Marina Superiore, one of the seven city gates. Walk the main streets and wander around the forum, the true heart of Pompeii and the center of public life. From here you can see Mount Vesuvius overlooking the city.
Discover the basilica (business and legal center), thermal baths, temples, a bakery, and the Great Theater of Pompeii. Listen to interesting anecdotes from your archeological guide, who will tell you about daily life in Pompeii. Even peek at plaster casts of people who were in town at the time of the eruption.
See well-maintained artworks, mosaics and frescoes in various places that will take you back nearly 2000 years. Highlights include the House of the Vetti and the Lupanar Brothel. Find out how this famous brothel got its name and see its preserved stone beds and frescoes.
