Pompeii Early Bird Tour with your Archaeologist｜Italy

Once a vibrant hub of Roman civilization, Pompeii fell silent when tragedy struck in 79 AD. The mighty Mount Vesuvius erupted, engulfing everything in its path with ash and fire. Today, this extraordinary city remains frozen in time, its ruins remarkably preserved for us to explore.

On this exclusive 2-hour early entry tour with TICKETS included you’ll step into Pompeii before the crowds arrive, enjoying a rare sense of peace as you wander its ancient streets. Starting at the authentic Roman gate, *Porta Marina*—the only one of the city’s seven gates to survive intact—you’ll have the perfect chance to capture stunning photographs of this UNESCO World Heritage Site bathed in morning light.

As you stroll through the city, you’ll witness the echoes of its lively past: the theatre, the sacred temples, bustling market spaces, and even a Roman brothel. One of the most moving sights is the collection of “plaster casts” of Vesuvius’s victims—poignant reminders of the eruption’s human toll, preserved by ash and archaeological ingenuity.

**Highlights include:**

* *Porta Marina* – the original Roman gate entrance
* The Roman Basilica & Forum
* Temples of Jupiter, Venus, and Apollo
* The Macellum market, where plaster casts are displayed
* The opulent Roman Baths
* The House of the Vettii and the House of the Faun, adorned with exquisite frescoes and mosaics
* Roman shops such as the *Thermopolium* and ancient bakeries
* The Triangular Forum & Theatre District
* …and much more!
