Description:

Experience the best that Pompeii has to offer with a carefully planned itinerary that combines the most popular and famous sights of the historic city along with some less-visited spots. Travel in a small group of no more than 14 people and learn the city's secrets from your archaeologist guide.

Your tour departs from Naples or Sorrento, as a luxury transfer by air-conditioned minibus or car whisks you all the way to the entrance of Pompeii. Meet your teacher for the morning, a professional archaeologist as well as a fully licensed local tour guide. Many guides have worked on the Pompeii and Herculaneum excavations themselves.

Explore the extraordinary ruins, visiting the perfect blend of popular and quieter sites to give you a feel for life in Pompeii. Duck into private homes and villas to learn how both rich and poor lived in ancient Pompeii. Visit ancient fast-food stores and bakeries, admire well-preserved mosaics in the baths, and see the ruins of temples as you hear how the city's population ignored early warning signs of their impending doom.

Of course, you can also see the famous death casts and stand in the ancient Roman Forum, in the shadow of the mighty Mount Vesuvius. Put on your headset to hear your guide without having to huddle in close to hear the commentary, and make sure you get the most from your once-in-a-lifetime visit.
