Walk the ancient streets of Pompeii with an expert archaeologist-guide in a private setting, unlocking restricted areas and vivid stories of the city frozen by Vesuvius in 79 AD. A truly once-in-a-civilisation moment.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the Porta Marina entrance and leads you through the Forum, the Lupanare, the Villa of the Mysteries and the haunting plaster casts of victims — with commentary tailored to your pace and curiosity. Restricted annexes can be unlocked on request. The scale of the site rewards a lingering, unhurried visit that only a private arrangement allows. End with a prosecco at the on-site café with Vesuvius framing the view.
Good to know
Book park tickets online in advance at pompeiisites.org (now exclusively via vivaticket.com from March 2026) — timed-entry slots sell out fast in high season. Allow at least 2.5 hrs inside. Pompeii Scavi train station is a short walk from the gate; from Naples port a private transfer is ~45 mins. All-aboard times for most Naples calls are 18:00–19:00, so a morning departure is ideal.
