Meeting with the Guide by the entrance of Porta Marina Superiore.
Pompeii, with an area of approximately 148 acres, is the only example in the world of a whole Roman city still intact. The Forum, the various temples and monuments of civil servants, the homes of the different social classes, the city walls - almost complete - with all the gates, thermal baths and the other shops make this place 'unique' of its kind.
This feature is essentially due to two reasons:
- the blanket of ash in the absence of oxygen has buried the town for over 1500 years, and it has allowed an excellent preservation of many monuments and frescoes, statues, etc.. But archaeologists have also found many everyday objects such as ladles, spoons, containers, colander, brooches, as well as 81 loaves of bread, figs, chickpeas, beans, wine, salted meat, honey, and so on.
- the same ash has kept hidden and has saved the city from the barbarian invasions after the fall of the Roman
Empire. In medieval times it was very common to destroy the pagan buildings for using marble and columns in oreder to
make the Christian churches.
For all these reasons, we arrange for You a great tour with a private English-speaking guide (only for You) for all day long ( 7 hours + 1 hour break for a snack) to explore every corner of this incredible city.
- THIS TOUR WILL OPERATE RAIN OR SHINE, SO BE PREPARED FOR ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.
- ENTRANCE FEE IS NOT INCLUDED.
