About Pompeii

Pompeii is not a ruin you look at from a distance — it is a city you walk through, street by street, with an archaeologist decoding the graffiti, the bakeries and the amphitheatre as you go. For history-minded travellers, the strongest experiences here are led by specialists, such as the Pompeii: Small Group Archaeology Tour with Expert Guide or the Pompeii: Gladiators, Games & Glory - Archaeologist-Led Journey, which turns the arena and its spectacles into a story rather than a photo stop.

Frequently asked questions

The best ones are led by archaeologists who read the site as evidence rather than scenery: they explain construction techniques, household objects, political slogans painted on walls and how the eruption of Vesuvius froze daily life in place.
