What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to Pompeii's entrance, where your guide meets you to begin exploring. Expect to walk the preserved streets, navigating uneven terrain and climbing steps as you move between houses, shops, temples and public baths. Your guide points out frescoes, mosaics and everyday details—grain mills, wine jars, graffiti—that bring Roman life into focus. The site sprawls; you'll cover what feels manageable in your group's timeframe rather than rushing. Summer heat is intense; bring water and wear decent footwear.
Good to know
Wear sunscreen and sturdy shoes; the site offers little shade. Not suited to those with serious heart or mobility conditions, though all fitness levels manage the general route. Prams work on main paths. Food and drink aren't included; a café operates near the entrance. Bring water.
