Pompeii Archaeological Park

Your adventure begins with early entry into the ancient ruins of Pompeii. You’ll have the unique opportunity to explore this once-thriving Roman city, perfectly preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, without the crowds for a more peaceful experience. With an expert archaeologist as your guide, you and small group of maximum 18 people will walk the same streets that Romans once did, peeking into shops, temples, and even a brothel—each frozen in time. You'll also see the House of the Vetti, an incredibly preserved house recently reopened after years of restoration.
