Full description Journey back in time and discover the breathtaking beauty of Pompeii, one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, with our Skip-the-Line Guided Tour, accompanied by a professional archaeologist. This immersive experience invites you to walk through the surprisingly well-preserved remains of a city frozen in time after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Bypass the long queues and step directly into the heart of this ancient Roman city, where history, tragedy, and daily life resurface at every turn.

Guided by a specialist archaeologist, you will walk along the original stone streets and uncover the multiple layers of life, wealth, and social customs. You will visit key points such as the Great Theater, the Thermopolia (ancient Roman fast-food establishments), the Forum (political and commercial center), and the moving casts of the Calchi dei Corpi. You will also gain access to ancient private residences showcasing the luxury of the upper classes, including the Erotic Frescoes.

This tour goes far beyond conventional sightseeing. It is a unique opportunity to experience the archaeological wonders of Pompeii through the eyes of a professional archaeologist, who provides context, depth, and a captivating narrative to every corner of the site.
