Is this tour right for you?

Choose this once your travel date is settled. A local guide takes only your party. The walk lasts 2 hours and is priced per person.

The route centers on the Forum and Large Theater. Passing the House of Menander depends on the guide's route. Entry is included; the ticket type isn't named, so check Villa of the Mysteries access.

Agree the exact meeting gate before traveling to Pompeii. The booking gives no refund if you cancel.

What I'd do: book only after settling your date and the exact meeting gate.

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.
