Porta Marina e cinta muraria (pass by)

Your private guide will lead you through Porta Marina, one of Pompeii’s main gateways, where merchants and sailors once entered from the port. As you pass beneath the stone arch and along the ancient walls, your guide will help you picture the city as it was on the morning of the eruption—busy streets, market chatter, and goods arriving from across the Mediterranean. It’s an ideal starting point to understand the scale of Pompeii before exploring its heart.
Read more

Basilica (pass by)

From the entrance, your guide will take you into the Basilica, the city’s most important civic building. Here is where legal disputes were heard, contracts agreed, and business negotiated long before paper and signatures existed. Walking among the surviving columns, your guide will show how the architecture reveals the influence of Rome, and how this space shaped daily life in Pompeii. Even without its roof, the building still conveys authority.
Read more

Temple of Apollo (pass by)

Your private guide will lead you to the Temple of Apollo, one of the oldest and most significant sacred spaces in Pompeii. Here you’ll learn how Apollo was not only worshiped as a god of music and prophecy, but also associated with healing and protection—important qualities for a bustling trading city. As you move through the courtyard and columns, your guide will point out the remains of altars, statues, and architectural details that reveal how religion, politics, and daily life were closely intertwined in the ancient world.
Read more

Foro di Pompei (pass by)

From the temple, your private guide will take you into Pompeii’s Forum, the vast open square that formed the center of public life. Here is where citizens gathered to trade goods, debate politics, worship in nearby temples, and keep up with the latest news from Rome. Surrounded by imposing public buildings and colonnades, the Forum offers one of the clearest impressions of Pompeii as a living city. Your guide will help you read the space—showing where the markets operated, where officials conducted business, and how different areas of civic, commercial, and religious life all converged in one place.
Read more

Macellum (pass by)

Your private guide brings you into the bustling marketplace of ancient Pompeii. Here, local residents once came to buy fish, meat, fruit, and imported delicacies from across the Empire. Your guide points out the counters, storage areas, and shrine spaces that reveal how trade and religion intertwined in daily life. Standing in the central courtyard, it’s easy to imagine merchants shouting prices, customers bargaining, and the aroma of fresh food filling the space—a lively snapshot of Roman urban life frozen in time.
Read more

Forum Baths (pass by)

Your private guide will take you into the Forum Baths, among the best-preserved buildings in Pompeii. Here you’ll walk through the changing rooms, warm and hot bathing areas, and even admire original mosaics and stucco decorations that survived the eruption. As you explore, your guide will show how the ancient Romans transformed bathing into a daily ritual that combined hygiene, exercise, and social life. It’s one of the easiest places to picture real people living in Pompeii: relaxing, chatting, and preparing for the day just as we might in a modern spa.
Read more

Casa del Fauno (pass by)

Your private guide will lead you into the House of the Faun, one of the largest and most elegant private residences in Pompeii. Here you’ll discover how wealthy families lived, entertained guests, and displayed their status through architecture and art. As you move through its courtyards and reception rooms, your guide will show you the famous bronze statue of the dancing faun and explain why this house is considered a showcase of refined taste in the ancient world. You’ll also learn how the celebrated mosaic of Alexander the Great once decorated its floors, revealing the owner’s cultural ambitions and connections beyond Pompeii itself.
Read more

Casa dei Vettii (pass by)

Your private guide will take you through the House of the Vettii, a remarkably preserved residence that offers an intimate look at private life in Pompeii. Recently restored, the house is filled with vivid wall paintings that still glow with color nearly 2,000 years later. As you explore its rooms and gardens, your guide will explain how the frescoes’ myths and symbols reveal the aspirations of the wealthy owners—former freedmen who rose through commerce to achieve status and influence. It’s one of the best places to understand social mobility in Roman times and to appreciate the artistry that once decorated Pompeii’s homes.
Read more

Via dell’Abbondanza (pass by)

Your private guide will lead you along Via dell’Abbondanza, Pompeii’s main commercial street. Lined with shops, workshops, taverns, and bakeries, this avenue once carried the daily flow of people heading to the Forum, the baths, and the city’s residential quarters. As you walk, your guide will point out marble tracks worn by cart wheels, street fountains used by residents to gather water, and storefront signs that once advertised goods and services. It’s one of the best places to imagine Pompeii as a living city—busy, noisy, and full of business long before the eruption froze it in time.
Read more

Insula dei Casti Amanti (pass by)

Your private guide will take you to the Insula of the Chaste Lovers, a residential block currently undergoing archaeological restoration. From the elevated viewpoint, you’ll have a rare chance to look down into the ancient homes and workshops from above—almost as if the roofs had been lifted away to reveal daily life inside. Your guide will point out dining rooms, courtyards, and workspaces where frescoes and inscriptions still survive, including the charming scene of lovers sharing a tender moment that gave the insula its name. The lookout also offers an excellent sense of how Pompeii’s houses fit together within a single city block.
Read more

Teatro Grande (pass by)

Your private guide will take you into the Teatro Grande, Pompeii’s main theatre and one of the oldest stone theaters in the Roman world.

The theatre also offers a wonderful vantage point over the ruins and surrounding landscape, giving you a moment to pause and take in the scale of the ancient city.
Read more

Antiquarium di Pompei (pass by)

Your private guide will lead you into the Antiquarium, the museum space where many of Pompeii’s most significant artifacts are displayed. Here you’ll see everyday objects, statues, inscriptions, jewelry, and domestic items that tell the intimate side of the city’s story—how people dressed, worked, worshiped, and decorated their homes. Your guide will highlight key pieces that connect directly to places you’ve just visited in the ruins, helping you put faces and lives behind the architecture.One of the most powerful moments comes with the plaster casts of the victims of 79 AD. These casts, created by filling the voids left in the ash layers, preserve the final postures and expressions of the inhabitants who were overtaken by the eruption. Standing before them, the human tragedy of Pompeii becomes strikingly real and impossible to forget.

Cantina del Vesuvio Winery Russo Family

After the archaeology, your private driver takes you up the volcanic slopes of Vesuvius to a family-run winery surrounded by lava-rich vineyards.

Here, rows of vineyards frame panoramic views of the mountain and the crater rim—an incredible backdrop for photos as you enjoy tastings and a light lunch. It’s a peaceful way to step back from the ruins and see the landscape that produced both devastation and fertility.

Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

Your private guide will take you next to Herculaneum, a seaside town buried by the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii. The experience here feels different right away: the site is quieter, more compact, and astonishingly well preserved. Thick volcanic material carbonized wood and sealed upper floors, so balconies, doors, furniture, and colorful wall decorations survived in a condition you rarely see elsewhere in the Roman world.As you walk through narrow streets and elegant homes, your guide will point out details that reveal how people actually lived—kitchens, dining areas, latrines, and even shops with original wooden shelving. Many visitors are surprised by how close Herculaneum feels to a living city. It offers an intimate and emotional counterpoint to Pompeii, and for many guests it becomes the highlight of the day.

2 hours Admission Ticket Included

Boat Pavilion (pass by)

Your private guide will take you to the Boat Pavilion, where one of the most important finds from Herculaneum is preserved: a Roman boat discovered near the ancient shoreline. The vessel, remarkably intact thanks to carbonization, offers a rare glimpse into the maritime life that connected the town to trade routes along the Bay of Naples. Inside the pavilion, your guide will point out construction details, preserved wooden elements, and the cargo equipment that has survived for nearly two millennia. It’s a compelling reminder that Herculaneum was not just a residential community, but a port town shaped by the rhythms of the sea.
Read more

Antiquarium di Ercolano (pass by)

Your private guide will then take you into the Antiquarium, where some of the most remarkable finds from Herculaneum are displayed. Here you’ll see objects that almost never survive at other ancient sites — including carbonized wood, furniture fragments, doors, beams, and household items preserved by the heat of the eruption. As you move through the exhibits, your guide will connect these rare wooden remains to the places you’ve just visited in the ruins, showing how tables, shelving, shutters, and even upper floors once looked and functioned. These artifacts give Herculaneum an unusually vivid and intimate feel, reminding visitors that this was a lived-in city frozen at a single moment in time.
Read more

Antica spiaggia di Herculaneum (pass by)

Your private guide will take you down to the ancient shoreline, where the original coast of Herculaneum once met the sea. Standing here, it becomes easier to understand the town as a seaside community shaped by fishing, trade, and maritime travel. The volcanic surge pushed the coastline hundreds of meters outward, so today you walk well inland to reach what was once the beach. Your guide will help you imagine boats pulled to shore, goods unloaded, and residents moving between docks and the town center. It’s a powerful spot that connects the archaeology of Herculaneum to its life as a functioning port. This was the shoreline in 79 AD, where over 300 skeletons were found in boat houses as people waited to escape by sea. The discovery revealed their final moments as the pyroclastic surge reached the coast. Today you can still see the arches of the boathouses and the dark volcanic layers that buried everything.
Read more

Casa dei Cervi (pass by)

Your private guide will lead you into one of Herculaneum’s most elegant seaside villas, known as the House of the Deer. Here the ancient owner framed his view of the Bay of Naples with porticoes, marble tables, and a lush garden overlooking the water. As you walk through the rooms, you’ll notice black-and-white mosaics underfoot and traces of refined wall décor that hinted at wealth and taste. The house takes its name from the bronze sculptures of deer attacked by hounds, found in the garden and now displayed in the Antiquarium. Your guide will help you read these details as status symbols and imagine the villa alive with guests, servants, and the sound of the sea just below.
Read more

Palestra (pass by)

Your private guide will walk you through Herculaneum’s large exercise courtyard, once used by young citizens for athletic training and social life. Surrounded by porticoes and overlooked by classrooms, this space wasn’t just about sport — it was where future elites learned rhetoric, fitness, and discipline. As you cross the vast open field, your guide will help you picture boys running drills, teachers observing from the shade, and festivals or public events held on special days. The scale of the complex reminds you how important physical and civic education were in Roman society, and how much pride the town invested in its youth.
Read more

Casa di Nettuno e Anfitrite (pass by)

Your private guide brings you into one of Herculaneum’s most elegant homes, famous for its vibrant mosaic panel of Neptune and Amphitrite. The scene still shines with deep blues and golden glass tesserae, giving you a rare glimpse of how sophisticated—and colorful—Roman interiors once were. From the dining area to the painted walls and fountain niche, your guide helps you imagine the house during lively banquets, when guests gathered to eat, drink, and show off status through art and décor.
Read more

Casa del Bicentenario (pass by)

Your private guide takes you into one of Herculaneum’s most prestigious residences, reopened after decades of restoration. Multiple floors, vivid wall paintings, and even surviving wooden elements offer a rare chance to experience Roman domestic life almost intact. As your guide highlights family rooms, décor, and the social status of its inhabitants, it becomes easy to imagine the house as it once was—elegant, bustling, and very much alive.
Read more

"Ad Cucumas" ancient wine advertisement (pass by)

Your private guide brings you to this ancient shop, recognizable by its rows of terracotta jars (cucumae) set into a marble counter. Here, residents once bought food and drinks much like at a modern café or takeaway. Your guide points out traces of storage jars, serving spaces, and even the original wooden shelving that survived the eruption—a vivid reminder of daily commerce in the Roman world.
Read more

Sacello degli Augustali (pass by)

Your private guide takes you inside this richly decorated hall dedicated to the cult of the Emperor. Brilliant frescoes show mythological scenes and offer a striking glimpse into how religion, civic life, and imperial politics blended in Roman society. As your guide explains the role of the Augustales—a prestigious local group of freedmen—you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the city’s social hierarchy and cultural life. It’s one of Herculaneum’s most atmospheric spaces, where vivid colors and crisp details make the ancient world feel startlingly close.
Read more

Casa dello Scheletro (pass by)

Your private guide leads you into this elegant townhouse, named after the human skeleton uncovered during early excavations. Though quieter than some of the larger residences, the house preserves refined wall paintings and a graceful layout that reveal the lifestyle of Herculaneum’s prosperous middle class. As your guide points out its decorative details and intimate spaces, the discovery that gave the home its name adds a poignant reminder of the eruption’s sudden impact on daily life.
