Pompeii Tour from Naples with Ticket, Guide and Bus

A Pompeii tour from Naples that begins with a bus ride and ends in streets stopped in 79 AD, the year Mount Vesuvius buried the town. The guide joins you in Naples, and the air-conditioned bus carries you to the archaeological site with commentary along the way.

Inside the gates you follow cobbled streets between houses, shops and villas. The guide stops at the mosaics that show how well-off Romans lived, at the graffiti still scratched into the walls and at the shop counters that explain how everyday trade worked. The Lupanar, the ancient brothel, adds a look at the town's nightlife and social habits.
