Pompeii - Private Tour
Overview
An entire city perfectly preserved just like it was back in 79 A.D., when a tremendous eruption of the nearby volcano Mt. Vesuvius buried it under a deep layer of ashes and lapilli.
Pompeii is very different from any other archaeological site in the world. There are ancient ruins in Rome, Greece, Egypt, Central America and other wonderful places on the planet, but in none of those except for Pompeii you can still walk down the original ancient streets and find them as lively as they were back then. You can walk in the same houses people lived in, in the same temples they prayed in and be in the same places they worked in and they had fun in. You can even still see the tracks of their carriages left on the road surface; the pipes the drinking water ran into; and last but not least, the “petrified” bodies of the victims of the eruption.
Inclusions
- Visit with a tour guide licensed by Regione Campania
What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy
We will visit the most important public buildings (theatres, temples, thermal baths and more) and bring your attention on some of the most traditional Roman shops like the thermopolia - ancestor of the modern fast food restaurants - and the pistrinum - the Roman equivalent of a bakery. The city of Pompeii is also quite known for the magnificence of its residences, the names of which are renowned in the entire world: the House of Menander, the House of the Faun, the House of the Vettii, the House of Caecilius Iucundus and many more. We will be in some of those fantastic dwellings and also walk down “Via dell'Abbondanza” (the main street), the Forum (the main town square) and the famous “red-light district” and its suggestive wall paintings. Lastly, a special focus will be put onto the poor victims of the eruption, appearing as petrified bodies.

As a family of five, how good was it to be meet by Francesco at the Pompei entrance and be helped through the tickets and a nice que jump in the process. And this was just the start of the day.

By far this was the highlight of our trip to Italy, we had an amazing time in the Pompeii ruins with Francesco. Francesco was so knowledgeable, patient, and reliable. He showed us the best coral shops and restaurants in the area. His English was fantastic. I am disappointed we did not get to do the Herculaneum ruins with him. We just ran out of time. If you are looking for a great experience in Pompeii or any Italy tour of the area check out Pompeiify tours and you we surely enjoy your time with Francesco Pagano. We had an amazing time. Thanks Francesco for that amazing time. I really never expected to enjoy Pompeii like that.We were lucky enough to be assigned Francesco for our private tour of Pompeii. He was clearly a complete expert and shared with us things we would have never learned otherwise.

We were lucky enough to be assigned Francesco for our private tour of Pompeii. He was clearly a complete expert and shared with us things we would have never learned otherwise. We debated whether or not to do a tour, or to perhaps do the simple audio tour that is offered, but the cost for the private tour was worth every euro. We highly recommend the tour, and especially a private tour if possible as it is much easier to “gracefully” skip lines and spend as much time as possible hearing from the guide.Super interessante Tour mit Gabriela. Sehr gutes, verständliches Deutsch. Wir waren eine 4er Gruppe und absolut begeistert von der Führung. Gabriela konnte uns auf ihre humorvolle Art viele Details zu Pompeji vermitteln. Gerne wieder.
