    Educational and Memorable Tour

    "After reading many reviews and tours of Pompei we opted for Roberto. We don’t like groups and enjoy having a personalised experience. Firstly we had a few glitches getting the tickets and Roberto responded quickly. We travelled via train from Sorrento and opted for a 9:30 tour which meant it was slightly cooler and the train less crowded. It was easy and cheap however the train was very busy upon our return. Roberto skilfully steered us around the huge site keeping us engaged with his vast knowledge and taking advantage of any shade available. It was a superb experience without it we would have had little idea of the stories behind the different remains . If you want a tour with an expert that will create a lasting memory then this is for you."

    Fabulous guide, highly recommend!

    "Roberto’s warmth and his depth of expertise made our tour of Ercolano and Pompeii a well-paced and informative experience. His love for archeology shone through and made a tour of almost five hours fly past! Fascinating and memorable, thank you Roberto."

    Informative and Enjoyable Tour of Pmpeii

    "Roberto was just great. He connected several weeks before our private tour and gave advice on buying tickets. He and we were running early so we started the tour before the scheduled time. As it was an afternoon tour we had the unexpected benefit of exploring a bit more post tour (Pompeii is vast). As Roberto is an archaeologist we had a real insight into history, architecture and daily Roman life. He was great at answering our questions and made the whole thing very enjoyable. "

    Extremely knowledgeable and friendly

    "Excellent tour with Roberto. He was actively reaching out prior to the tour and was very helpful. Everything worked out well. The tour was very good and covered many of the most important areas of Pompei. We learned a lot about how the Romans lived at the time and about the history of the excavations. Recommended."

    Fascinating Pompeii tour with Roberto

    "My 11-year-old son and I had an excellent experience on A Day in Pompeii Tour with an Archeologist. Pompeii itself was absolutely incredible, and Roberto did a fantastic job shaping the tour in a way that kept my son curious and engaged while still making it deeply interesting for me as well. His archaeology expertise added so much depth and made the site feel even more remarkable. This was one of those experiences that stays with you, and I already hope to come back with my wife and take this tour with Roberto again to learn even more. I would highly recommend both Roberto and this tour to anyone visiting Pompeii."

Incredible Day Trips to Pompeii from Rome

Escape the city and step into another world with a day trip to Pompeii from Rome. This legendary city, silenced by Vesuvius, is waiting to share its secrets. A private day trip to Pompeii is the best way to experience its magic.

  • A Day Trip to Pompeii: A City Frozen in Time

    In 79 AD, the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii under a thick blanket of volcanic ash. This tragic event perfectly preserved the city, offering an unparalleled snapshot of Roman life. Your day trip to Pompeii is a literal walk through history.

  • Culture and Life on a Day Trip to Pompeii

    Imagine the daily hustle of ancient Rome! Pompeii's streets reveal forums, grand villas, and humble bakeries. The stunning mosaics and frescoes that survived show the vibrant culture and artistry of the time. Explore this culture on your Pompeii day trip.

  • Taste of Pompeii: Ancient Food on Your Day Trip

    Pompeii reveals ancient 'thermopolia,' the fast-food counters of the Roman world. These spots served hot food and wine to the city's inhabitants. On your tour, discover these ancient eateries and taste the region's modern culinary delights, which have ancient roots.

  • Pliny the Younger: Witness to Pompeii's Fate

    We owe much of our knowledge of the eruption to Pliny the Younger. He witnessed the disaster from a distance and wrote detailed letters about the terrifying cloud of ash and the final, heroic moments of his uncle, Pliny the Elder, who tried to rescue citizens.

  • The Poignant Casts of Pompeii

    The most moving sights in Pompeii are the plaster casts of the victims. Archaeologists created them by pouring plaster into the voids left by bodies in the hardened ash. These haunting figures capture the final moments of the city's people, a must-see on your day trip.
