Is this tour right for you?

Choose this if you want the longer private walk across Pompeii. A licensed guide with archaeology expertise leads for 4 hours. You pay per person and buy entry separately.

The route includes the Amphitheater and Garden of the Fugitives before the Forum area. Houses and baths also feature. You can choose whether to include the Lupanar.

Agree the route and gate before booking. The House of the Faun appears twice in the stop list, and some buildings have restricted access. Wait for booking acceptance before fixing the rest of your plans.

What I'd do: agree a Piazza Anfiteatro start for the Amphitheater and Garden of the Fugitives.

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.
