Overview

Pompeii is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and it's one of the biggest archaeological sites in the world. My 2-hrs tour is specifically made to provide you the best experience to discover the Ancient City and its hidden treasures: the theatres, temples, houses, thermal baths, shops, fast food and brothels.

I worked in Pompeii for a few years as an archaeologist and It'll be a pleasure to guide you through the secrets and mysteries of this beautiful place. All details you won't find on the internet or books.
