LivItay’s Exclusive Pompeii Private Tour is designed for the most curious of minds, travelers who are mindful of their time, but are also fascinated with the history of this amazing Roman province once destroyed by the nearby Mt Vesuvius.

Pompeii is one of Italy’s best preserved archaeological sites and it is a must visit with a guide. The city was a typical ancient Roman village founded 80 B.C. A sudden eruption by the volcano, Vesuvius in 79 A.D. buried Pompeii under 6 meters of ash and wiped it off the map until it was rediscovered in 1599. Discover the story behind the life and times of this ancient port town and the modern day excavations which have helped bring it back to life!

WHY TAKE A PRIVATE POMPEII TOUR?
Whether you are visiting Pompeii for the first time or are a returning traveler, this excavation site is one which deserves your full attention as it has an endless amount of history to offer. Venturing it on your own can be a bit arduous as it requires the knowledge of a local expert to piece together history’s fragments. The best way to get the most of your time Pompeii sightseeing is through a private tour where you can have a private tour guide dedicated 100% to your curiosities and interests. A private tour of Pompeii is a great way to maximize your time and enjoy your time as best possible.

“Our Pompeii private tour
was one of the highlights
on our entire vacation!”
– John, New York

You will get to see some of the marvel craftsmanship and engineering which went into the Roman baths and waterway systems within the town. You will learn about the prodigious sewage system construction which is still studied today. Your private guide will show you the amazing mosaics and murals and walk around the public baths that were constructed with central heating and saunas in a time when the rest of Europe was still living in mud-huts. Take a walk around the Pompeii Forum, the heartbeat of this once port trading town. Find out where residents lived, worked and entertained. Visit the many houses of the wealthy merchants and explore the richness in architecture, design and fresco wall paintings! Learn about the House of Sallust and House of Julia Felix, two popular Pompeii attractions!

Your archaeologist guide will paint you a picture of what the streets looked like on that decisive day 2000 years ago when Mt Vesuvius unexpectedly erupted. You will get an idea of the chaos on the streets with people and horses trying to flee along the stone-slabbed roads to no avail. This Private Pompeii Tour gives you a look into a true archaeological gem, an extraordinarily preserved peek into ancient history. Join LivItaly and be captivated by our 2.5 hours private experience.

ADD ON: WINE TASTING & LUNCH AT A LOCAL VINEYARD
Don’t want your tour to end? Add on a Wine Tasting at a nearby Pompeii Vineyard.

Travelers who want to see a bit more of the Pompeii surrounding area can opt for a few more hours of touring to a nearby family-run vineyard along the Vesuvian hills. Your guide will leave you with your private chauffeur who will take you to a nearby local vineyard, rooted in tradition, producing exceptional wines which somehow seem to capture the aromas of southern Italy in a glass. The vineyard you will be visiting was born of a hobby of the nonno (grandfather) of a local Italian family, which was later passed on and revived by his grandchildren, young entrepreneurs who today run the establishment, turning their grandfather’s dream into reality.

You will be met with an onsite tour explaining the bio-dynamic techniques used in production, as well as some of the ancient techniques used to mirror production methods of ancient roman times (i.e. amphora containers). Get a glimpse of the wine cellar, groves and even an excavation site right on the territory – this is Pompeii after all!

No vineyard tour would be complete without a wine tasting. You and your group will get to taste 3 local wines followed by a delicious light meal which includes a starter, first course and a dessert. You are sure to enjoy the stories, landscape and of course wine of this vineyard that has been in the family for three generations.

Once your tour, wine tasting and lunch is done, your private chauffeur will take you back to the entrance of the Pompeii excavation site from which you started.
