Pompeii Ruins with Archaeologist Private Guide

Walk the frozen streets of Pompeii beside a professional archaeologist who reads the ash-preserved villas, brothels and bakeries like an open book.

What to expect

Meeting at the Porta Marina gate, your guide leads you off the main tourist flow into quieter insulae, explaining daily Roman life through mosaics and frescoes. You'll see the plaster body casts and the Forum with Vesuvius looming behind. The pace is unhurried, with time for questions and photography.
