Pompeii Tour from Naples - Group Tour

In the morning, guests are picked up from their hotel with prior confirmation of the hotel name and pick-up time. The journey begins with a private bus transfer to Pompeii, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in Campania. Upon arrival, a professional guide leads visitors through the ancient city, revealing the richness and vibrancy of Roman life. Pompeii was once a thriving city filled with public and private buildings, streets bustling with people, markets, and cultural spaces that showcased the grandeur of the imperial era.

In the summer of seventy-nine AD, the city and its approximately twenty thousand inhabitants were engulfed by a violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Tons of ash, pumice, and lapilli rained down on the city, covering the streets and buildings and preserving the forms of the people and their belongings. Walking through the ruins, visitors can imagine the fear and chaos that gripped the citizens as they attempted to flee, gaining a powerful insight into the dramatic events that shaped the city’s history.

During the two-hour guided walk, the guide highlights the most remarkable and evocative parts of Pompeii. Guests explore the Forum, the Baths, the Casa dei Vetti with its beautiful frescoes, and the Lupanare, learning about daily life, social customs, and the art and architecture of the Roman era. This immersive visit offers a rare opportunity to step back in time, experience the atmosphere of ancient Pompeii, and gain a deeper appreciation of the tragedy and legacy of the city before returning to Naples for hotel drop-off in the early afternoon.
