Tour Description
Pompeii Tour
Have you ever dreamed of traveling back in time? Take our Pompeii tour and live like an ancient Roman for one day.
Pompeii is one of the most famous and important archaeological sites in the world.
Once a prosperous town, the city was hit by the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD.
Nobody knew that the Vesuvius was a volcano, therefore nobody could expect this mountain to suddenly blow up and destroy almost everything in an eight miles radius.
The ashes buried the city, and most of the Pompeiians died in horrible ways, unable to find shelter anywhere.
The ashes quickly buried all the streets, the houses, the temples, and the theaters. The city disappeared and soon its exact location was forgotten.
Only a long time later, in 1748, the King of Naples Charles the 3rd decided to start the excavations that brought Pompeii back to life.
The archaeologists who dug in Pompeii immediately realized that this site was unique and you will feel the same during our Pompeii tour.
The ashes had perfectly preserved the city, almost as if it had been frozen until its discovery.
Not only the buildings were still standing: but the discoverers could also admire the wall paintings, the frescoes, the marble cornices, the stuccoes, and the statues.
Digging Pompeii was not like excavating ruins: the city was so well preserved that it was like unveiling the ancient world, traveling back in time, and seeing the life of the ancient Romans.
During our Pompeii tour, you’ll have the chance to explore this unique site with a professional, local guide.
