Pompeii Ruins and Wine Tasting Private Tour

9AM | Arrival to Pompeii Ruins and Tour

If you’re a lover of exploring ancient history and Roman ruins or simply just want to have a different kind of experience, a visit to the Pompeii Ruins is perfect for you, marked as a Unesco World Heritage Site status and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, it simply can’t be missed. You will truly feel as if you’re taking a trip back in time when walking the same streets of those who used to live there, many many years ago. Our Pompeii Ruins tour is the best way to experience the historic site, especially if you choose to hire a professional, qualified and private tour guide, this way you will truly be able to fully immerse yourself into the understanding and appreciation of the history and culture of this ancient city, especially if you are travelling as a family with small children or in a large group of friends. The guides are experienced and very child friendly, they will be able to keep your children engaged and entertained throughout the tour with games and prizes all while teaching them some history about this famous site. Without a guide if you’ve not researched and read the history of Pompeii it can be very difficult to understand the story of the people that once lived there, in fact, often people who visited the site independently upon reflection said that they would have enjoyed and appreciated it a lot more had they had someone with expert knowledge guiding them throughout the tour of the ruins. Another great advantage to opting for a guide is that you will also be able to skip the queue, which in the summer months can be anything from 30 minutes to an hour, with fast track access as well as your ruins of Pompeii tickets already being included within the price, great for families with small children. The tour itself will take around 2 hours, in which you will visit all of the major sites such as the City centre, the Roman forum, the Temple of Apollo and the Roman baths.
