About This Tour
Meet the Guide close by the train station of Pompeii or nearby the archeological site entrance and begin an incredible journey back into the past ! Your private local licensed Pompeii guide will take you on a fascinating tour through this once thriving empire of nearly 20,000 inhabitants that was completely covered in 30 feet of volcanic ash. You will be guided in the baths, villas, theatres and wrestling ground for about three hours. This private tour includes the visit to the Villa of the Mysteries. This wonderful Villa is one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the past century named for the paintings in one room of the residence. This space may have been a triclinium, and is decorated with very fine frescoes. Although the actual subject of the frescoes is hotly debated, the most common interpretation of the images is scenes of the initiation of a woman into a special cult of Dionysus, a mystery cult that required specific rites and rituals to become a member.
