Overview

Step beyond the famous ruins and discover the human story of Pompeii on this archaeologist-led walking tour. In a small group, explore the streets, homes and public spaces where ancient Romans lived, worked, traded, worshipped and socialised before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

Learn how families organised their households, how businesses operated, what people ate and drank, and how citizens enjoyed leisure time in one of the Roman Empire’s most vibrant cities. Your experience also includes a visit to the Antiquarium, where original artefacts, tools, household objects, decorations, and plaster casts reveal the personal stories of Pompeii’s inhabitants.

Your archaeologist guide will bring Pompeii to life through archaeological discoveries, expert insights and engaging storytelling. Experience Pompeii not simply as a collection of ruins, but as a thriving Roman city brought back to life through archaeology.
