Pompeii's lure is strong. This ancient site in southern Italy dramatically captures a Roman town in the shadow of a volcano, exactly as it was 2000 years ago. The archeological site is a vast 150 acres - figure out where to start and what to see on a private Pompeii tour with a knowledgeable local guide.

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the 15,000 citizens of Pompeii were caught tragically unawares. Their town was buried under layers of ash and lava, which hardened and acted as a preservative of the bodies, homes, streets and public buildings it covered. The excavation of Pompeii that began in the 18th century revealed one of the most compelling archeological sites of all time, and today visitors can see the stark drama of lives interrupted in a 2000 year old Roman town.

Your guide is an expert on Pompeii's history, and will take you to the most evocative parts of the site, including the public bath house, theatres, and elegant private villas on your private Pompeii tour.

Pompeii is a magical site. It catches everyone imagination. An ancient Roman city that vanished overnight in a volcanic eruption.

Under the volcanic ash, the city had been beautifully preserved, an open window on the roman time.

We will walk on 2000 years old streets, surrounded by great public building like the well-preserved theatres' area, the richly decorated public thermal baths towards the Foro (the main square). But Pompei offers more than this.

Pompeii is the life of the people brutally interrupted, their jobs, their food, their personal stories, their fears, their ambitions. We will look at their daily life in the most universal context: the houses.
