Tour description

From the port of Naples, you will reach the city of Pompeii, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in about 30 minutes, traveling in comfort with your private driver and an executive-class vehicle.

There, you’ll enter the archaeological site of the city that was devastated by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, a truly fascinating place. You’ll discover how the ancient inhabitants of Pompeii lived and their daily habits as you walk along stone-paved streets and explore the remains of both private and public buildings.

The visit will continue through the Theater District and along via dell’Abbondanza, entering some of the best-preserved villas in the city, frozen in time by the volcanic lava. You’ll see how the Romans used thermal baths and how artisans practiced their crafts in shops of that era.

Wandering through the city’s main roads, you’ll admire the frescoes and mosaics of iconic buildings, including the Lupanar frescoes, the House of the Faun, the Basilica, the Great Theater, and the Forum, some of the oldest and best-preserved in the world.

With Mount Vesuvius looming in the background, this incredible tour takes you back almost 2,000 years in time. You’ll even see the plaster casts of the people who were trapped in the moment of the eruption.

After the visit, your driver will take you back to the port of Naples in time for a relaxed and punctual embarkation.
