About this experience
Travelers will be picked up at a designated meeting point before departing for Pompeii, the ancient Roman city that was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. A licensed professional tour guide will lead the group, providing insights into the customs and daily life of Pompeii's inhabitants. The city became a municipium under Roman rule and a colony known as 'Veneria Cornelia Pompeianorum.' It served as a holiday destination for the Roman elite, with notable buildings such as the Temple of Fortuna Augusta and the Eumachia Building constructed during this time. Participants will explore Via Dell'Abbondanza, a bustling street lined with restaurants, bars, and shops that was central to daily activities in Pompeii. This tour is suitable for groups of at least two people.

Archaeological Park of Pompeii
By the turn of the first century A.D., the town of Pompeii, located about five miles from the mountain, was a flourishing resort for Rome’s most distinguished citizens. Elegant houses and elaborate villas lined the paved streets. Tourists, townspeople and slaves bustled in and out of small factories and artisans’ shops, taverns and cafes, and brothels and bathhouses. People gathered in the 20,000-seat arena and lounged in the open-air squares and marketplaces. On the eve of that fateful eruption in 79 A.D., scholars estimate that there were about 12,000 people living in Pompeii and almost as many in the surrounding region.

Good to know
- Pompeii tickets – ID requirement: It is mandatory for all participants to carry a valid photo ID on the day of the tour. The personal details provided at the time of booking (e.g. first and last name) must exactly match those on the ID, as Pompeii tickets are nominative and non-transferable. Local staff at the archaeological site are entitled to check IDs at the entrance. In case of discrepancies, spelling errors or missing information, they may refuse entry to one or more participants at their sole discretion. Discover Italy cannot be held responsible for any refusal of entry due to incorrect or incomplete data provided by the participants, and no refund will be due in such cases.
- Weather, clothing and itinerary: The tour runs in all weather conditions; we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a light jacket and an umbrella. Any waiting times during stops (for explanations, security checks or photo opportunities) may occur and are not dependent on the organization. The guide and tour leader reserve the right to modify or adjust the itinerary if necessary for operational or safety reasons (for example due to traffic, site regulations or unexpected closures).
- Timing and punctuality: Please arrive at the meeting point at least 5 minutes before the scheduled tour departure time. Tours and transportation services must leave on schedule to guarantee the full experience and on-time return to the ship. A maximum waiting time of 15 minutes is allowed in case of participant delays. After this time, staff may leave the meeting point and begin the tour. Participants not present will be considered NO SHOW and no refund will be due.
- Contact information & WhatsApp: When contacting us, please provide your name, ship name, and tour title. To ensure smooth meet & greet operations, we strongly recommend that at least one participant provides a mobile phone number that is active and reachable in Italy. We also highly recommend using WhatsApp. Discover Italy cannot be held responsible if participants are unreachable.
