About this activity

Meeting at the hotel at 10.00am, you will head to Pompeii to visit one of the most fascinating places in Naples, thanks to the story of a professional guide. At the time of the Romans, Pompeii was a rich and very populated city, full of public and private buildings. One summer day in 79 AD, all of Pompeii and its approximately 20,000 inhabitants were covered under tons of ash and pumice because of a violent explosion of Vesuvius. A shower of lapilli deposited everywhere covering the ground for more than 6 meters, wrapping everything and making imprints of the bodies and clothes of those who were fleeing. After about 2000 years, you have the opportunity to discover the daily life of the imperial era and imagine the fear of the population before the city was destroyed. With a two-hour walk, your guide will illustrate the most evocative places of the city such as the Forum, the Spa, the House of the Roofs with its beautiful frescoes and the Lupanare. A visit not to be missed for anyone who visits this region of Italy! After the tour, return to Naples at 1.30pm.
