Pompeii Skip the Line Small Group Tour with Archaeologist Guide
Overview
Skip the lines to enter Pompeii on an in-depth three-hour tour. Covering more ground than on other guided tours, your archaeologist guide will take you through the ancient city that was decimated by the explosion of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. Follow them through the UNESCO World Heritage site to see the amazing ruins of ancient shops, temples, homes and more. As an active archaeological site, there is always something to discover and your in-the-know guide will take you to the latest excavations. Wrap up with a walk along the city walls for sweeping views of Naples and Capri. Your small-group tour is limited to 15 people in order to ensure a more personal experience. If you're short on time, select the Pompeii Express Option at time of booking. This two-hour express tour is led by an expert archaeologist and designed for travelers who want to see Pompeii's highlights without committing to a full day at the archaeological park.
