Pompeii guided tour
What makes this tour special?
Pompeii is one of the Unesco Jewels: when visiting this archaeological site, it will enchant you.
Within a maximum of four hours you’ll have visited the Pompeii ruins and returned to your cruise ship in time for lunch, a nap and for enjoying the swimming pool on board. This tour offers you a good compromise between culture and amusement.
With the Minivan. the driver and a private archaeologist as tour guide (only for you), you will have time to fully enjoy your cultural part of the day.
Why should you choose this tour ?
Let’s venture together on this incredible trip through time, entering Pompeii, a Unesco World Heritage Site while avoiding the queue to purchase the entrance tickets.
This half-day tour of Pompeii is ideal for the visitors who do not want to spend all day on an excursion, but would rather want to devote the afternoon with the activities that the cruise ship offers ( from the spas to the pools , from the slot machines to other thousands of different services). Moreover this formula is much less tiring because it minimizes the time of walking during the tour: only two hours in Pompeii with your tour guide.
In addition, this excursion offers very high standards: a limo ( full optional ), a professional English-speaking driver, an English-speaking archaeologist, the opportunity to enter the ruins of Pompeii without waiting in line to buy the entry tickets ( skip the line tour ).
More Details about this tour:
Our English-speaking driver and me will be waiting for you by your cruise ship, holding a sign with your name on it.
After that, we will proceed for Pompeii where we’ll enjoy a two-hour tour : as archaeologist I’ll be your private guide guide – just for you.
Pompeii was an important trading center in the Roman times which was located at the mouth of the Sarno river in the bay of Naples. Buried with ash and pumice stones by the disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and discovered by accident 16 centuries later, Pompeii is one of the most popular archaeological sites in the world. These ruins are the only place where one can immerse oneself in a Roman city with streets, the Forum, the houses and shops, frescoes and political propaganda on the walls , the old cemeteries and triumphal arches: in a nutshell two thousand years later everyone can experience the atmosphere and the splendor of an ancient Roman city.
Then, after this great experience we will go back to your cruise ship.
N.B.: The schedule is just a suggestion, but it can be easily modified: for example you can replace Pompeii with Herculaneum either Mt Vesuvius or a sightseeing tour of Naples. We are totally flexible.
