Ancient Pompeii

Art, Culture, & Historical

This amazing tour of ancient Pompeii will be an extraordinary experience.

The city was covered under ashes and pumice stones during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and it was abandoned soon after.

In 1748 the king of Naples, Charles III of Bourbon, decided to bring it back to life.

Ancient Pompeii is a jewel that we will disclose slowly starting from the Porta Marina Gate

Connecting Several Generations of a Family

Maria was kind, funny, experienced and a very knowledgeable guide! She took a lot of time planning this tour. She researched and found relatives I haven’t seen in over 40 years and translated conversations with my family since I only speak English and they only speak Italian. Maria spent the whole day with us showing me where my parents used to live in Cantaloupo and Castelpetroso. These are very small towns in the mountains. We had one person in our group who had a food allergy and she found an excellent restaurant that was very accommodating! I would highly recommend Maria as a tour guide! Schedule a tour with Maria you won’t be disappointed!

Dear Maureen, I am so glad you appreciated my services. It was really a pleasure for me to help you find your relatives and they were all so nice and kind. I felt as part of the family!!!! I hope to see you back soon! My best regards and a hug. Maria

Best and kindest guide

Maria's kindness and efficiency may not let you recall her wonderful discussions of the places we visited. All the while she is patient, smiles, talks to us as friends, and finds ways quickly to solve any bumps in the road. You'll love her just as our group of 14 did!

Maria S.

Dear Mr Mark, It was a pleasure to meet you and I am glad that you appreciated my work. Your group was really enjoyable and you all deserved the best. I am glad to know that you felt comfortable and I hope to see you again for other tours of our beautiful Campania. All my love to all of you.

Visiting ancient Herculaneum, in the bay of Naples, is an experience that will last for a long time. There are no other ancient cities which can compare to Herculaneum for its amazing state of preservation after the city was covered under a pyroclastic flow during the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in AD79. Herculaneum is famous for the well preserved frescoes, mosaics, wooden partitions, furniture and many other petrified organic materials which are so important to understand its life.

Pompeii Walking Tour with an Archaeologist

Pompeii
3 hours

The ancient city of Pompeii is probably the most important archaeological site in the world. A tour here led by an archeologist, even better! In the past, it was an agricultural and commercial center where about 20000 people lived. The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD covered it under about 8 meters of pumice, lapilli and ash. The tour lasts about 3 hours and will be a journey through history where you will see houses, theaters, baths, shops, brothels, casts of the victims.
