Overview

Avoid wasting time in long queues or struggling to understand Pompeii’s vast ruins without context. This skip-the-line guided tour of Pompeii brings the ancient city to life with insights beyond typical guidebooks, explaining how unmarked structures were used in daily Roman life. With expert storytelling throughout, you gain a deeper, more meaningful experience instead of simply wandering the site.

For added convenience, luggage storage is available at our meeting point, located at the Pompeii Scavi train station, just a short walk from the archaeological site's entrance. Each traveler can store one piece of luggage, with no distinction between small or large luggage.

This makes the experience especially convenient for travelers arriving in Pompeii by train, checking out of their accommodation, or continuing their journey after visiting the archaeological site.

Luggage must be collected by 6:45 PM from March 16 to October 14, and by 4:45 PM from October 15 to March 15.

What's Included

  • Headsets for listening to the guide (group with more than 15 pax)
  • Luggage storage: 1 piece x pax (until 4.45 pm from 15/10 TO 15/03 and 6.45 from 16/03 to 14/10)
  • Entrance tickets "express" for the archeological site
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Entrance tickets "plus" for Villa of Mysteries
