Is this tour right for you?

Choose this if you're arriving by train and want entry included. Meet at Tempio Travel inside Pompei Villa dei Misteri station. The guide is licensed and your group walks alone.

The route covers the Forum and baths, with ancient shops along the way. You pay per person. The included ticket covers the city; it excludes the Villa of the Mysteries.

Arrange your own transport to the meeting point. Food and drinks are extra. Check a late departure against winter closing hours before booking.

What I'd do: book a morning walk and meet the guide at the station.

Chiara Vitale Writes 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. Report a correction.
