Offered in: English

Are you ready to visit one of the most amazing archaeological sites in the world? Only after exploring the ancient Roman city of Pompeii—buried under layers of ash during the famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79—can you truly say you have seen authentic ancient ruins.

Here, you can fully immerse yourself in the world of Ancient Rome.

With my guidance, you will discover how extraordinarily well preserved Pompeii is and how ingenious the ancient Romans were. I will tell you the story of the city, its dramatic destruction, and the daily life, traditions, and habits of its inhabitants.

We will walk along the ancient streets and explore the house of a wealthy citizen, a theatre, a bakery, and the Roman baths, imagining ourselves as visitors from the past. We will see the Forum, the markets, the plaster casts of its citizens, and much more.

Let my knowledge, experience, and anecdotes take you on a journey back in time to Ancient Rome.

Do not hesitate to book a tour with me!
