About this activity
Meet your local tour guide at 10 am at the entrance of the Hotel Vittoria n Piazza Porta Marina outside the entrance to the ruins. He or she will have a printed sign with your name on it.
A professional guide and staff member will check you in and give you your 'time traveling equipment' (your VR headset). You will follow your guide into the ruins and arrive at your first point of interest. Listen to your fun and passionate guide as he or she speaks about current points of interest. Next, you will be instructed to put on your virtual reality headset and witness the point of interest you are standing in front of come back to life right before your eyes! The streets, homes, taverns, temples, theaters, markets and citizens of Pompeii live again as they once were.
After watching each 2- to 6-minute 'virtual reality scenes' you will have time to take pictures and speak with your guide.
Important note to parents: children under the age of 9 may not have their own VR headsets but are permitted to
occasionally share the VR headset with their parents
at the discretion of the tour assistant.
After your private tour is complete your guide will show you to Caupona Restaurant, which is located within easy walking distance.
A "caupona" was a tavern, a place where the ancient people of Pompeii had their daily meals (we can count 89 in Pompeii).
Eat in earthenware dishes and drink from beautiful pointed amphoras, glasses and cups. The cuisine is mainly based on the discovery of distant flavors and the ancient times bringing to light ingredients that are not often used in our kitchens so as to achieve a genuine and balanced menu.
Menu includes 4 courses, one glass of Mulsum (wine) and water.
