Description

Be transported on a thrilling journey through time along the streets and through the buildings of a city that was buried 2,000 years ago and then brought back to life.
From the moment you step into the archaeological site, led by our expert guide in Pompeian archaeology, it will be like stepping into a time machine and being transported back to the Roman era. The tour begins at the gladiator school, where gladiators once trained for competitions, and continues through the theaters, which served as stages for comedies, tragedies, music, and dance 2,000 years ago. The streets of Pompeii offer a glimpse into daily life, with shops, inns, and taverns. The most interesting of these is Via dell’Abbondanza, Pompeii’s main street, which was once bustling with Pompeian citizens frantically purchasing goods from all over the Empire. The Roman Domus in Pompeii is a unique experience; entering a house from 2,000 years ago has a unique effect: the frescoed walls, the mosaics, the gardens, and the private rooms provide a vivid sense of everyday life. The baths are a symbol of health, and the ones you will visit offer a glimpse of a highly organized and advanced civilization. Life in Pompeii was not just about the day but also about the night, and one district was the center of Pompeii’s nightlife. The Forum is the heart of the city, surrounded by the most important buildings: the political, religious, and commercial areas. The tour concludes at the Antiquarium, a small new museum in Pompeii where the victims, artifacts, frescoes, and some truly unique objects are preserved.
After the tour, you will return to your starting point.
