Visiting with an archaeological guide was the best way to visit! Our guide knew so much about Pompeii and told us everything in a very interesting way. He asked us questions to make us think about life back then, and I really learned a lot about the time before the eruption and about the eruption. He answered everyone's questions, and I really couldn't have asked for a better tour. Plus, priority entry was also amazing! Five stars!
I loved this tour! I wanted to explore Pompeii for a long time, so I'm very glad to have had the chance. I would definitely recommend the guide we had (sorry, I forgot your name), because he was well-educated on the topic, and was able to answer everyone's questions, and told everything in such an entertaining way, and because it was a small group, it was easy to hear everything. Also, the transportation was great, because it saved us a lot of time and planning!

SKIP THE LINE AT POMPEII WITH AN OFFICIAL ARCHAEOLOGIST GUIDE
Save time at the entrance to Pompeii with skip-the-line access and join your official archaeologist guide in exploring the city ruins. Pompeii was destroyed in a volcanic eruption in 79 AD, so almost 2,000 years ago. Volcanic debris fell on the city, followed by clouds of hot gases the next day. The city was buried under under several meters of ash and pumice during the eruption. They preserved the remains, and it wasn't until the 18th century that Pompeii was discovered. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997, along with Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, which were also buried during the eruption.
SEE WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN POMPEII
You can see Pompeii's Forum, amphitheatre, villas, and hundreds of houses. Some of the buildings are from the 4th century BCE. Ten to twenty thousand people lived in Pompeii at the time, and remains of people seeking shelter from the eruption were found throughout the city. In the 19th century, Giuseppe Fiorelli made casts of human remains. He poured plaster into the volcanic ash. These casts can be seen in Pompeii today. Your archaeologist guide will tell you how the Forum was the center of religious and economic life in Pompeii and show you the Macellum, a market, and Roman temples. The basilica is important for studying the development of Christian basilicas. See the luxurious House of the Faun and a typical merchant house, the House of the Vettii. You can also see bakeries, where loaves of bread were still found in the ovens and other shops, as Pompeii was connected to a nearby river port and exported goods. You can even see ancient Roman restaurants. The remains of Pompeii offer a look into the everyday lives of people in ancient times, and your expert guide will tell you many more interesting facts and stories about it.
