Explore Ancient Roman History At Pompeii And Oplontis With An Expert Archaeologist Guide


Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of ancient Roman history as you explore two remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a single experience. Your adventure begins in the ancient city of Pompeii, where an expert archaeologist guide brings the western district to life through vivid storytelling and deep knowledge. As you walk along the preserved streets, you will discover grand public buildings, bustling marketplaces, elegant homes, and the famous thermal baths that reveal the daily rhythms of a thriving Roman society.


Every corner offers a glimpse into a world frozen in time, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the culture and atmosphere of this once flourishing city. After a peaceful break, continue your exploration by traveling with your guide to the nearby site of Oplontis, home to the magnificent Villa Poppaea. This extraordinary residence, believed to belong to the wife of Emperor Nero, showcases a level of luxury that reflects the highest status of Roman aristocracy and provides deep historical context.


Wander through spaces adorned with vibrant frescoes, stroll past reconstructed gardens filled with ancient charm, and admire the sophisticated architecture that reveals the refined lifestyle of the elite. Your guide will explain the intricate details of the wall paintings and the structural innovations that have allowed these sites to survive for centuries. This deeper look into the private lives of the Roman upper class offers a stark and fascinating contrast to the public life observed earlier in the day at Pompeii.


This small group tour ensures an intimate experience, allowing for meaningful interaction with your guide and plenty of time to ask questions about the archaeological findings. By visiting both Pompeii and Oplontis, you gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse social strata and architectural brilliance of the Roman Empire. It is a perfect excursion for history enthusiasts who want to go beyond the surface and truly connect with the ancient world in a meaningful and educational way.

Askos was very responsive to communications, and even a last minute change. The private 3 hour guided tour was such a great choice for us. Our guide, Theresa, was wonderful. She knew where all the lesser known points of interest were, explained how to read the ruins (ex. How to tell what type of store or house), and told us a lot of really interesting information. Honestly, 3 hours hardly seemed enough! I would definitely book again; this was well worth the price.

My wife and I completely enjoyed our Pompeii tour experience. Our guide was a professional archeologist, and she planned an excellent experience with many important stops along the way. Her enthusiasm for the history of the site was infectious and provided a wealth of knowledge beyond what you can find online. Thank you so much for the experience.

AMAZING tour with Antonella, so much better than I expected!! I did the tour on Nov 11th, and I did not had much expectations about Pompeii - I had seen other Roman and Greek ruins before and I thought it would be the same, but Pompeii blew me away! The guide talked for 2 hours non-stop, without pausing for pictures or unnecessary activities - which I find amazing because you have the entrance ticket included and can then spend the rest of the day walking and taking pictures, so the time with the guide is supposed to be enjoyed to absorb as much knowledge as we can. She was an absolute expert and it made my experience in Pompeii unforgettable. The communication with the company was easy, I had trouble with late trains in Naples and got there 5 minutes late and managed to do the tour anyway with their kind understanding. I got home and talked about Pompeii with my sister for days, and shared the experience with all my friends... really really worth it. Thank you Askos and Antonella!!
