About this tour

This nine-to-ten-hour private tour includes skip-the-line entry, a 2.25-hour archaeologist-led site visit, lunch, and wine pairings with antipasti. You'll see preserved homes, mosaics, and street layouts that reveal daily life before Vesuvius.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel and drives you south to the Bay of Naples, arriving at Pompeii mid-morning. You'll spend the bulk of the tour on foot—roughly 2.25 hours—moving through the site's compact grid. Expect stone-paved streets, roofless homes with intact frescoes, and the eerie carbonised remains of bodies in their final poses. The guide contextualises architecture, trade routes, and domestic life. After lunch, you'll drive inland to a working vineyard where staff walk you through fermentation, oak ageing, and tasting notes. You'll sample three to five wines and eat cured meats and cheese.
Good to know
The site involves considerable walking over uneven ancient pavement—wear proper trainers. Bring water and sunscreen; there's limited shade. Those with heart conditions should reconsider. The full duration includes travel time (roughly 3 hours driving). Gratuities are not included.
