Step inside the ancient city of Pompeii with a private expert archaeologist after the crowds have gone. Walk silent streets frozen in 79 AD — this is one of the world's great historical pilgrimages.
What to expect
Your private guide unlocks the stories of Pompeii's citizens, from the grand Villa of the Mysteries to the eerie plaster casts in the Garden of the Fugitives. You wander the basalt-paved streets, peer into frescoed triclinia, and stand in the Forum with the shadow of Vesuvius looming overhead. The small-group format means you linger as long as you like at the most moving moments. This is living history on an unrivalled scale.
Good to know
Pompeii is approximately 30 minutes by Circumvesuviana train from Naples port (EUR 2.80 each way). Book official entry tickets in advance at the Pompeii site to avoid queues. Confirm all-aboard time and allow 90 minutes to return to ship — a half-day is sufficient for a focused private visit.
