About this tour
Walk through Pompeii with someone who's spent years digging and researching the site itself. This two-hour tour keeps numbers small—just you and up to eleven others—so you're not queuing behind school groups. Your guide holds a postgraduate archaeology degree from Federico II University in Naples and either leads the tour personally or pairs you with one of their trusted colleagues. You'll see the city, not just hear about it.

What to expect
Expect a focused, genuine archaeological perspective rather than a scripted tourist narrative. Your guide will point out details that matter—not just the famous frescoes, but the small finds and structural choices that reveal how people actually lived. The pace suits everyone; strollers are welcome and there's no pressure to rush. You'll cover significant ground in two hours, though Pompeii is vast, so your guide will prioritise the most revealing sections. Bring water and comfortable shoes; the site is largely unshaded and involves uneven ground.
Good to know
