Pompeii  Private Guided Tour: Memories from a Buried City

Step back in time with a private guided tour of Pompeii, a city frozen in history. Founded in the 7th century B.C., Pompeii offers a profound contrast to Rome’s monumental architecture by vividly portraying the everyday lives of its ancient inhabitants. Once a thriving Roman colony from 80 B.C., Pompeii flourished with grand temples, opulent villas, and majestic palaces until a catastrophic earthquake struck in 63 A.D.

As the city began to recover, Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., burying Pompeii under a blanket of molten lava and ash. The eruption suffocated around two thousand residents, and today, their preserved bodies offer a haunting glimpse into their final moments.

On our tour, you will explore the bustling Forum, marvel at frescoed villas, soak in the grandeur of ancient thermal baths, and uncover other iconic highlights of this extraordinary site.
