    Unforgettable experience in Pompeii with guide Rossella!

    Visiting the ruins of Pompeii with Rossella made all the difference on our trip. She is an incredibly attentive, friendly, and passionate guide about the local history. ​With clear explanations in Portuguese rich in details and fascinating curiosities, Rossella managed to transport us in time and bring every corner of the ancient city to life. In addition to all her historical knowledge, the pace of the tour was perfect and she took great care to take us through the best routes, making the walk light and super pleasant. ​I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone who wants to experience Pompeii in an authentic and enriching way. Thank you very much, Rossella, for making our visit unforgettable!

    Very attentive and informative service

    Rossela was very attentive from the day before our tour. He waited for us at the station and guided us so that the visit took place without difficulty or discomfort. It was 2 hours of walking in the sun, but we didn't even notice the time passing. Rossela is very knowledgeable and speaks Portuguese well. The information was interesting and enlightening.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pompeii and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    When is the best time to visit Pompeii?

    +

    How many days do you need in Pompeii?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
