About this tour

A private two-hour exploration of Pompeii's preserved Roman streets, frozen since Vesuvius's eruption in 70 AD. Your driver collects you from your accommodation and delivers you to this sprawling archaeological site, where you'll wander through the remains of an ancient prosperous city. The air-conditioned vehicle includes WiFi for planning your route beforehand. Entrance tickets are arranged separately, giving you flexibility to spend as long as you wish among the ruins.

Highlights

  • Walk through streets buried for nearly two millennia
  • See aristocratic homes and public spaces intact
  • Private transport with WiFi onboard
  • Fully air-conditioned vehicle throughout
  • Accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs
  • Infant seats and prams accommodated

What to expect

Your driver will pick you up and transport you directly to the Pompeii gates in a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle. You'll have two hours to navigate the site at your own pace—enough time to cover the main streets and buildings, though many visitors find they'd like longer. The ruins are spread across a large area with uneven surfaces typical of ancient stonework. Expect crowds, especially mid-morning. You'll see remarkably intact homes, workshops, temples, and everyday objects preserved by volcanic ash.

Good to know

Book entrance tickets in advance online to skip queues. Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip—surfaces are ancient and can be slippery. Bring water and sun protection; there's minimal shade. Pushchairs and wheelchairs are accommodated, though some areas have steps. All vehicle touchpoints are regularly sanitised.
