Is this tour right for you?

Choose "Pompeii - kids oriented 2 hrs" for a family visit in English. Your licensed guide uses games and questions. The price covers your group of up to 15 travelers.

The walk stays inside Pompeii for 2 hours. Stories are aimed at children, who receive a small gift afterward. Park entry and transport are separate.

Meet outside Suisse Restaurant in Piazza Esedra. The lowest starting price buys the 1-hour option. Select the recommended length before comparing the total cost.

What I'd do: take the 2-hour English option for a family that enjoys asking questions.

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.
