Pompeii Private Guided Tour with Archaeologist at Porta Marina Superiore

The Pompeii Private Guided Tour with Archaeologist is a private, small-group tour of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, near Naples, led by a qualified archaeologist. Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and remained largely sealed until systematic excavations began in the 18th century, preserving streets, buildings, and artefacts in remarkable detail. The tour covers the site's most significant areas, including the Forum, the civic and commercial heart of the city, alongside residential structures known as domus and the Basilica, which served as the city's main law court and public hall.

Throughout the visit, the archaeologist guide provides context on daily Roman life, urban planning, and the events of the eruption itself, drawing on the latest scholarship rather than a standard script. Highlights typically include the House of the Faun, the Lupanar, the amphitheatre, and the plaster casts of eruption victims. The private format means the itinerary can be adjusted to your group's interests. For anyone planning a visit, Pompeii Naples attractions include a range of complementary sites in the wider area. Tickets cover the archaeologist-led private session for your group, with entry to the archaeological park included in the booking.
