The tour was incredible, worth every penny, especially thanks to our guide Iliana. She explained many facts about life in Pompeii in an interesting way, with humor and interesting information that made it easier for us to walk through the cobblestone streets. She also supervised our group professionally and carefully. I highly recommend this tour.

It's well worth walking through the streets of Pompeii and learning about its history. The city is well preserved. It's huge. You get a general idea of how people lived back then.

Mt. Vesuv is such a dominant feature that a peek down into the seemingly dormant (but smoky) crater and a stunning view from the rim is a must. Even on a calm and sunny day it can get very WINDY so bring a sweater, robust shoes (hike boots are nice, but not a necessity) and a windbreaker. Coffee and snacks are available several places en route. You have two hrs to get up to the crater rim which is fine for most people. The audio guide consists of rather short pieces of info and it is not a must. The view over Bay of Napoli and it's islands is stunning! Down in Pompeii you have roughly one hour for lunch. Plenty of eateries, but expensive, so consider buying lunch in Napoli. A very knowledgeable guide led us around for more than two hours. We missed a bit time on our own, but that could probably have been arranged. The Italian accent of our guide took some time getting used to, but consider dropping the headphones and just stay close to the guide. Be prepared for a long ride back to central Napoli in the rush hour. All in all a beautiful and interesting tour :-)

What to expect on a guided tour of Pompeii

1/10

Meet your guide and start your journey

Your experience begins at the designated meeting point—usually Porta Marina or Piazza Esedra, where your licensed local guide will greet you and lead the way into the ancient city. From there, the journey into Pompeii’s past begins.

Explore the Forum

This was the city’s main square where religion, politics, and daily life converged.With your guide, you’ll identify temples, markets, and civic buildings that once shaped the rhythm of Roman life.

Step into the Stabian Baths

Wander through ancient steam rooms, plunge pools, and changing areas still remarkably intact. Through your guide’s narration, these spaces shift from ruins to a vivid slice of Roman daily life.

Visit the Lupanar

See the surprisingly well-preserved brothel, complete with stone beds and provocative wall art.Learn from your local expert how sexuality and class intersected here.

Step into the oldest Roman amphitheatre

Built in 80 BCE, this arena once echoed with the roar of 20,000 spectators—cheering on gladiators and public spectacles. Your guide brings the structure to life, revealing how crowd control, stage effects, and seating were all ingeniously designed.

Enter a domus (optional)

Wander through preserved atriums, gardens, and dining rooms in homes once owned by Pompeii’s elite. Your guide reveals how Roman families lived, showcasing daily routines through architecture and artwork.

Visit the Thermopolium (optional)

If your tour includes this ancient food stall, you will come across counters still lined with clay jars where hot food was once sold to passersby. Learn how these quick-service spots fed the city and what they tell us about the Roman diet and economy.

Walk through the basilica (optional)

Step into Pompeii’s oldest public building, a grand space once used for law, trade, and civic affairs. With your guide’s insight, you’ll understand its role in Roman society and why its architecture mattered.

See the plaster casts of victims

Discover how voids left in hardened ash were filled with plaster, revealing the final poses, even expressions of Pompeii’s victims. Your guide explains the technique pioneered in the 1860s and what these forms reveal about the eruption’s speed and impact.

Step inside the Villa of the Mysteries (optional)

Tucked beyond the city walls, this lavish countryside estate holds vivid frescoes of secret Dionysian rituals. If your tour includes it, your guide will unpack the villa’s symbolism and why its artwork still mystifies scholars today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pompeii Tours

Is a guided tour of Pompeii worth it?

Pompeii is vast (over 60 hectares) and most buildings are unmarked or partially preserved. A guide helps you follow a clear route, explains what you’re seeing, and brings hidden details to life. You'll get stories, context, and structure—making the ruins meaningful without causing an overwhelm.

How is an archaeologist-led tour different from a standard guided tour?

An archaeologist-led tour is typically more in-depth and research-driven, led by someone with direct excavation or academic experience. While standard guides focus on storytelling and general highlights, archaeologists offer deeper insights into architecture, excavation layers, and current historical debates. It's ideal for those wanting more than just a surface-level visit.

How large are guided tour groups?

Group sizes vary but typically range from 10 to 25 people. Larger groups are usually given headsets for audio clarity.

Can I stay in Pompeii after the tour ends?

Yes. Your ticket remains valid for the day, so you're free to explore on your own once the tour concludes.

Can children join the guided tour?

Yes, and many tours are family-friendly. However, some areas like the Lupanar (brothel) may include adult content—ask the guide if you’d prefer to skip it.

Is there a dress code for Pompeii?

There’s no official dress code, but practical clothing is essential. Wear breathable fabrics, sun protection, and sturdy shoes—Pompeii’s ancient streets are uneven and offer little shade.

Are guided tours wheelchair-accessible?

Most of Pompeii has uneven terrain and steep steps, but an accessible route is available via Piazza Anfiteatro. While certain tours offer limited mobility support, it is advisable to check for accessibility before booking.

Is Pompeii considered dark tourism?

Yes, in part. Pompeii is often included in dark tourism because it preserves the site of a mass disaster, frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius. Visitors are drawn not just by history and architecture, but by the human tragedy evident in the plaster casts and ruins.
