What to expect

Get ready to discover one of the most important historical sites and learn more about its history. Your guide will tell you how the town was buried under molten ash and lava by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. During this tour, you can observe a vivid picture of life during the Roman Empire around 2,000 years ago. The first excavations were in the 18th century and after 250 years of excavation about 75% of the town has been dug out.

On the 2-hour guided tour in Pompeii, you'll also have the opportunity to visit some of the main public monuments and homes of the Pompeii ruins. At the end of the visit, you'll be given some free time to explore on your own before we reach Sorrento by bus at approximately 1.00 pm.
