Private Tour: Discover Pompeii from Napoli

Variable
About this activity
Start your tour with a pickup from the pre-determined meeting point at 8:00am. It will be easy to spot the driver, as they will be holding a sign with the lead traveler's name printed on the front. After a brief introduction, your driver will escort you to the luxurious vehicle and begin the 30-minute drive to Pompeii. Upon your arrival, marvel at what once was a thriving city and is now an ancient relic of ash-covered buildings and petrified corpses. Careful excavation has revealed a number of beautiful frescoes on the walls of the house as evidence of the wealth and stature of its former inhabitants.

See the town's ancient forum where locals would gather to socialize or conduct various forms of business. Then, see the thermal spa as well as the local brothel, the Lupanare. Gaze upon the beautiful wall frescoes at the Casa dei Vetti, or Vetti's House. Listen as your guide tells you the tale of Mount Vesuvius' eruption, when volcanic ash spewed over the city of Pompeii, leaving around 20,000 inhabitants buried under ash and burning pumice.

Once you have finished your tour, board the vehicle and make your way back to Naples.
