What to expect
You'll connect to a video link and join your guide as they walk you through Pompeii's main areas. Expect clear explanations of what you're seeing—how families lived, what people traded, how the city functioned before the disaster. The guide will point out details: mosaics, graffiti, architectural styles. You can ask questions in real time. The pace is steady and contemplative rather than rushed, giving you proper time to absorb the scale and strangeness of a city stopped mid-life.
