About this tour
Walk through Pompeii's ruins with an archaeologist holding formal qualifications in ancient history. This three-hour private tour covers the city's significant structures—homes, public spaces, and lesser-known corners most visitors miss. Your guide brings scholarly expertise and genuine enthusiasm for Greco-Roman civilisation, and happily tailors the route to your interests. Ask whatever questions arise; they're equipped to explore them properly.
Highlights

- Route customisable to your specific interests
- Three hours of unrushed, question-friendly exploration
What to expect
You'll move at a deliberate pace through Pompeii's streets and structures, stopping regularly as your guide explains what you're seeing—architectural details, domestic life, public functions, and the city's preservation. The walk covers both prominent sites and quieter corners archaeologists favour. Expect to learn how Romans actually lived rather than receive surface-level recitation. Your guide actively invites your curiosity and adjusts the itinerary if something captures your interest.
