About this activity

Discover Pompeii with your private guide, Alex – a true local and fully licensed English-speaking guide who will bring the ancient city to life!

Pompeii is a time machine, taking you on an extraordinary journey back 2,000 years.

Much of what we know about everyday life in ancient Rome comes from Pompeii. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, it buried the city, but in doing so, it also preserved an extraordinary snapshot of daily life.

Together, we'll step inside ancient homes, explore bustling streets and discover how ordinary Romans lived, worked, ate and entertained themselves.

Imagine someone walking into your home 2,000 years from now and discovering your everyday life. That's exactly what we'll do in Pompeii!

Join Alex for a personal, engaging and memorable journey into the past, where history isn't just something you see – it's something you experience.
