Pompeii Tour from Naples - Group Tour

In the morning, hotel pick-up (to confirm the name of the hotel and the time). Transfer by private bus to Pompeii, to visit one of the most fascinating places in Campania, with a professional guide. In Roman times, Pompeii was a rich and very populated city, full of public and private buildings. One summer day in 79 AD, all of Pompeii and its approximately 20,000 inhabitants were burned under tons of ash and pumice due to a violent explosion of Vesuvius. A shower of lapilli settled everywhere, covering the ground for more than 6 meters, enveloping everything and even taking hold of the bodies and clothes of those who were fleeing. After about 2000 years, you have the opportunity to discover the daily life of the imperial era and imagine the fear of the population before the city was destroyed. With a two-hour walk, the guide will explain the most suggestive places in the city such as the Forum, the Baths, the Casa dei Vetti with its beautiful frescoes and the Lupanare. A visit not to be missed for anyone visiting this region of Italy! After the tour, return to Naples at the hotel at 2.15 p.m.
