Description
A Pompeii tour with archaeologist guide is a quick way to read the ancient city through the eyes of someone who studies it. You meet in Piazza Esedra, and the ticket is already in your pocket, so there is no queue at the gate and the two hours go to the ruins.
The walk starts in the southern districts and the large public buildings, then reaches the Forum, where political and economic life once gathered among its temples. The guide then opens the doors of wealthy Domus houses, where frescoes and mosaics survive intact, and explains how the baths and the taverns worked. The route also takes in the newly excavated areas. It closes in front of the plaster casts of the victims, a quiet and moving last stop.
