One of Italy’s best preserved archaeological sites, Pompeii is best seen with an expert tour guide.  The city was an ancient Roman port town founded in 80 B.C., but a sudden eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. buried Pompeii under 6 meters of ash. Wiped completely off the map, the city was forgotten about until it was rediscovered in 1599.

This horrible incident, which froze daily life in action, allows us a glimpse into ancient Roman life.  This private Pompeii tour is guided by an archaeologist, or an archaeology expert, who will paint a picture of the ancient city.  They will bring to life images of the hustle and bustle that once filled the streets and buildings. Your private guide will show you the amazing mosaics and murals and walk you around the public baths, constructed with central heating and saunas.

The archaeological area of Pompeii has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. Many of our exclusive tour guides are archeologists, and they are ready to share amazing anecdotes, discoveries and stories about Pompeii and the surrounding historical areas.

When you have satisfied your hungry minds your private chauffeur will be ready with the car to take you back to your cruise ship in Naples.

  • Pompeii, definitely worth a visit

    LivItaly's tour to Pompeii from Naples port made it possible for us to see Pompeii in a stressless and very entertaining manner. The driver who picked us up at the docks spoke fairly good English and was anxious to tell us about the places we were passing as we made our way to Pompeii. There we met our guide, Imma, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable. It was a pleasure to walk around the ruins of this fascinating city and to hear about life before and after the volcano tragedy. We were taken back to our ship without any problems. We couldn't have been more pleased with this tour and our guide.

  • Very good shore excursion from Naples

    We wanted to visit Pompeii when our cruise docked in Naples. LivItaly's excursion was the perfect solution. We were met at the port in Naples and taken in a comfortable car right to the entrance of Pompeii where our guide, Marina, was waiting for us with warm smiles and bottles of water. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Pompeii especially since Marina made it very special. The site in itself is amazing but the stories she told and extra details she provided about what we were seeing made the experience even better. This is definitely a tour worth taking!
