Is this tour right for you?

Book Semi-Private Tour for 2 hours with up to ten people. This is the smaller shared option in English. The starting price for the standard tour buys a larger group.

Meet outside Hortus by Porta Marina and walk through Pompeii with an expert guide. Entry is included; tips are extra. Check villa coverage before planning a visit to the Villa of the Mysteries.

The Naples and Rome transport options are separate bookings. On this walk, you make your own way to Pompeii and arrive 10 minutes early. Bad weather can cancel the departure.

What I'd do: choose Semi-Private Tour for the ten-person group and travel directly to the Hortus meeting point.

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.
