Overview

Visit Pompeii with your private guide Alex, a true local and licensed english speaking guide.
Pompeii is a time machine, a travel back into the past.
If we know how the Romans used to live...it is thanks to Pompeii.
Mt Vesuvius eruption did bury the town but doing so it preserved the daily life of its inhabitants.
We will be going into people's life just as if someone entered our house in 2000 years time!
