   Private walk with official guide · 2 h guided inside · Entry not included

Entry included doesn't establish Villa of the Mysteries access; check the ticket type before booking. Planning to stay after the walk? Check the park's closing time and your return transport: you cannot leave and re-enter on the same ticket. The three Pompeii tickets.

What I'd do: choose a walk at the gate, then stay inside on the same park ticket if the tour's finish and my return transport allow it.
