This two-hour small-group walking tour of Pompeii is led by a licensed archaeologist and allows up to 20 participants. The tour begins at the main entrance of the Pompeii archaeological site, Porta Marina Superiore, where the guide will meet the group holding a sign for identification. Skip-the-line tickets are included so you avoid waiting at the entrance. The guide leads you through the western section of the ancient city, pointing out key locations such as the Marina Gate, the Basilica (an open portico for merchants), and the Forum, which was the main square of Pompeii. You will also visit the granary area featuring marble tables, decorative baths, plaster casts of eruption victims including a dog and a tree, and walk along Via dell’Abbondanza, the main street. The tour continues to several significant private and public sites, including the House of Menander, known for its architectural richness, the Stabian Baths, the oldest thermal complex in Pompeii, and the Lupanar, the city’s well-known brothel. You will also see the House of the Faun, one of the largest private residences, the Odeon (Teatro Piccolo), and the main Theater. The guide provides historical context and answers questions throughout the route. Headsets are provided for groups of 16 or more to hear the guide clearly. The tour is available in English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
