The life of the ancient city of Pompeii and of its inhabitants ended abruptly in 79 AD, when, following the eruption of Vesuvius, it was covered under about six meters of ash and lapilli.
The excavations of the city, which began in 1748 and still in progress, have brought to light this important archaeological site which, in 1997, became one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Operating Days from Monday to Sunday.
This tour is excellent. So much history and so much to see. Our tour guide advised that many of the artifacts recovered to date have been stored at museums in Naples. Note the ruts in the paving stones and remind yourself that the romans drove there chariots over these stones for 700 years before Mt Vesuvius and the volcano ended their existence in 74 A.D.

Olimme vaimoni kanssa todella tyytyväisiä opastettuun kierrokseen Pompeiissa. Oppaamme oli Nancy niminen italialainen nainen ja hän oli mahtava työssään. Hän oli hauska ja kertoi elävästi kaikesta mitä näimme. Hän otti ryhmästämme kaikki huomioon ja varmisti aina, että jokainen oli kuulolla hänen kertoessaan eri asioista mitä näimme. Suosittelen tätä kierrosta kaikille.
