What to expect
Expect a grounded narrative about how Pompeiians actually lived—not dramatised storytelling, but evidence-based reconstruction. Your guide will point out architectural details, household arrangements, and street-level commerce that bring the buried city into focus. The tour covers major sites but remains flexible; let Ada know beforehand if you're keen on particular aspects like trade, religion, or domestic life, and she'll adjust the route. Walking is steady but involves uneven surfaces and some climbing.
