Step back in time with a private half-day experience to Pompeii, one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological sites. With round-trip private transportation from Naples, Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast, you can enjoy a seamless day of history and discovery without the stress of logistics.

Depart with your personal driver and reach Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dramatically preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Meet your professional licensed guide and start your private 2-hour walking tour inside the ruins. With skip-the-line entrance tickets included, you will enter efficiently and focus on what matters most: the story of a Roman city frozen in time.

As you walk through ancient streets, you will discover houses, shops, temples, baths and public squares that still reveal the rhythm of everyday life nearly two millennia later. Your guide will bring the site to life with rich historical context and engaging details, highlighting key areas such as the Forum, the Macellum (market), the amphitheater, and some of Pompeii’s most impressive residences, including the famous Villa of the Mysteries.

At the end of the guided visit, meet your driver for a comfortable return to your starting point, completing a refined and high-value private experience ideal for first-time visitors and history lovers

      Pompeii nominative tickets & ID requirement

      It is mandatory for all participants to carry a valid photo ID on the day of the tour. The personal details provided at the time of booking (e.g. first and last name) must exactly match those on the ID, as Pompeii tickets are nominative and non-transferable. Local staff may check IDs at the entrance and may refuse entry in case of discrepancies, spelling errors or missing information. Discover Italy cannot be held responsible for any refusal of entry due to incorrect or incomplete data provided by participants, and no refund will be due in such cases.

      Contact details and WhatsApp

      To ensure smooth meet & greet operations, we strongly recommend that at least one participant provides a mobile phone number that is active and reachable in Italy (ideally the same number entered at the time of booking). We also highly recommend downloading and using WhatsApp to speed up communications. Discover Italy cannot be held responsible if participants are unable to meet our staff due to being unreachable.
