Overview
This 2-hour classic tour will give travelers the chance to discover the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, buried by the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in the 79 AD eruption.
The guide specialized in archaeology shows the best highlights like the Forum – the main square of the city – the main houses and buildings, and also the plaster casts – the dead bodies of the Pompeiians emerged by the excavations.
Pompeii has been inscribed in the World Heritage Patrimony from the UNESCO Committee since it gives a clear picture of the Roman society and daily life at a specific moment in the past, nothing else similar exists in the world. A 2-hour guided tour with an Archaeologist will help understand what life was like during the Roman Empire and give the feeling that tourists have time travelled to that specific moment.
