Is this tour right for you?
We list it first for its score: 5.0 from 176 reviews, with a group of up to 15. The walk names the House of the Deer and the main private houses. English and Italian cost €42, German €50.
The stored schedule lists 9:30, 13:00, 14:30 and 15:00 across three language options; confirm the English departure before booking. The guide holds a Pompeiify sign; the exact meeting point and a phone number come in the confirmation email at least 24 hours before.
Buy the €16 ticket yourself before the walk. In winter last entry is 15:30, so a morning start keeps the full 2 hours. Children under 6 and ages 6 to 12 have their own fare bands and can ride in a stroller. The operator can cancel for too few bookings, with a refund.
