With our personal service, you always have a contact person on site. Here are just a few of the services that are included when you book a guide:

- Welcome by a German-speaking employee who will accompany you from the meeting point to your private tour

- Tips for cheap parking in the immediate vicinity of the excavations

- Introduction and explanation of the new city of Pompei with various tips for free time, food and other sights

Welcome to Pompeii Archaeological Park, the most important and famous archaeological site in the world.

In addition to the archaeological site of Pompeii, the Park also houses the Antiquarium of Boscoreale, the archaeological research and excavation sites of Oplontis (Torre Annunziata) and of Stabiae (Castellamare di Stabia), the Longola Archaeological Science Park, the Castle of Lettere, the Royal Court from Quisisana, Villa Sora and the Bourbon powder mill.

Walking the streets of Pompeii you will enter a timeless world - a walk through history. As Chateaubriand wrote, one has the impression of visiting "a Roman town completely preserved, where it seems that the inhabitants left the city fifteen minutes ago".

We wish you a good visit!
