Pompeii Ruins Small-Group Tour - Archaeologist Guide & Skip-the-Line Ticket (Max 15)

Enter Pompeii without waiting in line
with an archaeologist guide

Meet your guide at the entrance of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii opposite Hortus Pompei restaurant. Skip the long line with your pre-booked ticket and explore the site in a small group of up to 15 people with an official Pompeii tour guide who is also a professionally trained archaeologist. The small group makes it easy to hear the explanations and leaves plenty of time for questions.

Visit the Forum, temples, theater and baths

Walk along Pompeii's main street, one of the best-preserved streets of the Roman Empire, and visit the Roman Forum, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman theater and the public baths. You can also see ancient shops, a thermopolium (an ancient Roman snack bar) and the remains of a bakery with food still almost intact.

Glimpse daily life through the House of the Vettii and the plaster casts

Tour well-preserved domus houses including the House of the Vettii and learn how ordinary people lived about 2,000 years ago. See the plaster casts capturing the final moments of those who died in the eruption and an old cemetery, and visit an ancient brothel if suitable for your group.

See recent excavations and panoramic views from the city walls

About a third of Pompeii has yet to be excavated, and excavation and conservation work continues. Your guide adjusts the route to new discoveries and introduces recently excavated areas. Finally, walk along the old city walls and enjoy panoramic views.

※ The order of visits and the route may change depending on excavation and conservation work.
