Why you’ll love this…
  • This half-day visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii gives you a peek into ancient Rome
  • There's a two-hour guided tour through the streets, forum, markets and thermal baths of Pompeii
  • Mt Vesuvius looms in the distance, a reminder of the fateful eruption in 79AD that claimed the city
  • You'll see details of the frescoes on the walls of wealthy Roman homes from 2,000 years ago
  • Your local guide knows this archaeological site like the back of their hand
What to expect

Of all the Roman ruins in Italy, none is as poignant or fascinating as Pompeii. More than a moment frozen in time, it's a window into the past. You'll discover its remarkably well-preserved houses and landmark sites on this morning excursion to this UNESCO Word Heritage Site.

Buried under volcanic ash by the 79 AD eruption of Mt Vesuvius – which still looms large in the distance – Pompeii brings to life ancient Rome. You'll tread the cobbled streets brought to life by a two-hour guided commentary through headsets.

All the major highlights here are covered – the forum, thermal baths, gymnasium and the market piazzas. You can still see frescoes on the walls of the homes of the Roman elite. Walking through its ruins is like leafing through the pages of a living history book.
