10 Literary, Art & Music Tours in Pompeii That You Shouldn't Miss

January 12, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

Pompeii is a Roman town frozen in time, thanks to a devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Explore houses from modest to majestic; see Roman shops, baths and brothels; or apply your high-school Latin to the graffiti that's still visible on some of the walls. End your visit at the Villa of the Mysteries, and try to interpret its amazing, bizarre frescoes—scholars have debated their meaning for years.

I can say the claim was fully accomplished: the views Fedronia made on the scene on Pompei (before and after -for instances - the earthquakes and eruptions over the centuries pompei suffered). She really does the job of making alive the way they eat, pissed (ask Febronia about the way around of pecunia non olet..), had occasional sex for sales and she is ready to do all the 3 hours we/you had together . A tour very istructive, amazing with a cool woman and skilled professional. You can reach me for further questions. DP

My wife and I had an excellent guided tour of the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St.Peter’s Basilica today. We were picked up at our hotel, and had a personal guide (born and bred in Rome) who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of everything we saw. I strongly recommend visiting the site but especially with a guide. The overall experience was exceptional.

We did the Pompeii for kids (the real one) with Giovanna. She was absolutely amazing. We were a group of 6 with children ages 7, 9, 11 and 13. She did an amazing job of engaging the children and helping us all learn about the city of Pompeii and the life of the Roman society in that time period.

Booked licensed guide Pina Esposito for a day including a morning at Pompeii, and an afternoon tour of the old section of Naples, and so delighted with the experience. We like to walk and are comfortable with public transportation, so we chose not to engage a driver for the day. With Pina, we took the train from Naples to Pompeii and had a good opportunity to talk before arriving. She is is very knowledgeable, good-humored, and engaging. She scaled and paced our time with her very well, and was responsive to our interests. This was in no way a “canned” tour. Payment per her instructions worked well. Highly recommended. She’s terrific.
