Is this tour right for you?

Book Pompeii Tour and Tasting if you want food and wine after the guided visit. This English option takes 3 hours overall. The cheaper language options cover the walk without the tasting.

Meet at Porta Marina opposite Hortus for 2 hours with an archaeologist. Stay inside for a 1-hour tasting of local wines with cured meats and cheeses. Entry and the tasting are included; arrange your own travel to Pompeii.

Use the tasting option's own price when comparing. Check villa access on its included ticket, and ask about tasting arrangements for children. A child's discounted park entry requires ID.

What I'd do: select Pompeii Tour and Tasting if you want to stay inside for food and wine after the walk.

Chiara VitaleWrites pompeii.day

I grew up in Castellammare di Stabia, under the volcano, and spent six seasons on hotel front desks in Sorrento. Which ticket, which train, which gate, how many hours: I've answered these more times than I can count.

Now I live in Pompei, ten minutes on foot from the Amphitheatre gate, and I go into the site most weeks on a MyPompeii card. For this page I compared the options and booking terms with the park's rules. I haven't taken this trip. Report a correction.
