There are plenty of things to see in Pompeii but you may miss them if you don't have a tour guide.

We booked a private tour of Pompeii with Raffaele, an archaeologist from Naples. You can book a similar tour by visiting www.naplesgrandtour.com/

Pompeii is a popular place to visit from Naples and is only a short journey from Naples Cruise Port. It's impossible to see the whole of Pompeii in one day but you can see many of the key features and landmarks.

    Imagine visiting there and the volcano erupts burying you in pumice. Your last thoughts will be , “Shit I’m gonna be a tourist attraction in the future “.

    Even having known for most of my life what Pompeii was, I went there when I was about 50. It absolutely blew my mind. To realize what a large city it was, that it had such sophisticated urban facilities, the level of civilization that thrived there at that time, and that it was virtually forgotten for hundreds of years.... There were fast food stands and piped-in water. We had a private guide, which was not that expensive considering that we were going to be there for only one afternoon in our lives. It was certainly worth having a guide dedicated to just us. She took us to certain main must-see attractions, but she also described various features and asked us what we'd like to see. The forum, the stately homes of some of the wealthy inhabitants... wow.

    Pompeii was so much bigger than we could see on our tour! So interesting! And they are still uncovering new things and areas! So amazing! The artwork and culture. I would love to go back

    I LOVE Pompeii!! Spent a day there, enjoyed every minute, and hope to go back. I had read about it and studied my large picture books before I went. I had a map and went off by myself. I didn't want to leave!!!

    Good to see Bam Margera looking so healthy, and living his new life as Raphael.
  • Hopefully one day I and my wife will get to visit Pompeii. I have always been so fascinated with it. Thank you for sharing!

    Beautiful and amazing place. Seeing Mt. Vesuvius in the distance was Erie knowing what took place. I would LOVE to go back and explore more again. Thank You for bringing back the memories.
  • Fifty plus years ago I was up before the morning heat began and arrived at Herculaneum . A local called it " Hr AC u Laaannno " and gestured one along toward it . At first I may have been the only one in sight , how ever a splendidly tailored German ( living in England) professor in tweeds appeared and informed he had been researching a book about the place . He began to show me arround Herculaneum . Day proceeded til finally it was dusk . I thanked my guide as a fortunate greatful tourist would . Ghosts now seemed to be felt everywhere in the shadows .

    Loved the information. Watched this morning. So much more to do than 'just' the displays of the people covered by ash. Really well done!

    I have visited Ercolano..more concise and much less walk. The museum there is number one. And Villa Poppea was great. It was a self organized tour so I did not wanted to see what tourist do not visit and my boyfriend cannot walk too much. End of the day we had a nice fashion show as well. :) You dont need a tour guide if you spend time and energy and read about the place which you will visit.
  • This was both an excellent vlog and tour. My husband and I plan to visit Pompeii and will be arriving by cruise ship. I requested a tour with Naples Grand Tour halfway thru your vlog. I did return to watch the rest because some of the information included was unique to this vlog, things I have not heard or seen before.
  • Very good video! always good to see any videos on historical sites that provide you little extras you don't see or read about elsewhere! Video was not to long, kept providing very cool pieces of info so keep the format going! its strong!
