About this tour
This three-hour private tour walks families through Pompeii's ruins to understand life before and after the 79 AD eruption. Your guide leads children through the amphitheatre, public baths, temples and marketplaces while handing out activity booklets that turn history into games, songs and riddles. You'll see how Romans actually lived—their entertainment spaces, worship sites and trade hubs—rather than just walking past stones. Each child gets a souvenir booklet, pencil set and instant photo to take home.

What to expect
Expect three hours of walking through partially excavated city blocks at a steady but manageable pace. Your guide will stop frequently at key buildings—the amphitheatre, baths, temples and shops—explaining daily routines of ordinary Pompeiians. Children work through their booklet at each stop, solving puzzles or singing along to bring the ruins to life. You're not rushing between major monuments; instead you're piecing together how people actually spent their days. The route is mostly flat but involves navigating uneven stone surfaces and occasional steps. Prams work on main pathways, though you'll need to carry younger children through narrower sections.
Good to know
