Ancient Pompeii was an important commercial city in a strategic position in the middle of the Gulf of Naples, on a hill overlooking the sea.
It was
inhabited by wealthy and sophisticated families, influenced by
the Greek culture of the neighbouring city of Neapolis and its
aesthetic codes, and the layers of volcanic ash that filled
the city during the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 brought
back countless mansions that are still well preserved today.

Your qualified tourist guides bring the city of
Pompeii back to life as if it were still inhabited.
You will be fascinated by the beautiful frescoes and
remarkably well-preserved mosaics, which evoke episodes from
Greek and sometimes Egyptian mythology.
Discover the magnificent villas that have been reopened to the
public after years of closure and renovation, and admire the
beautiful houses that have just been excavated after nearly
2,000 years.
Places visited during the tour include:
Public areas such as the basilica, the Forum Square, the
temples and the public baths.
Explore the beautiful dwellings where you can learn about the
social status of the inhabitants, and the devastating eruption
that covered the rich city with volcanic material and learn
how the wealthy people of antiquity lived before their lives
came to an end.
It will surely be an unforgettable experience for children
too.
