About this experience
Step into the ancient world with our immersive audio tour of Pompeii, where history comes alive through carefully curated storytelling and exclusive skip-the-line access.
Wander at your own pace through remarkably preserved streets, houses, and public spaces while our expert narration reveals the fascinating details of daily life in this Roman city, frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
As you pass through the Porta Marina entrance with your pre-reserved ticket, your audio guide will begin unveiling Pompeii's secrets. Stand in the shadow of the Basilica where legal disputes were settled, then marvel at the Forum's grand columns that once formed the heart of civic life.
Our commentary points out subtle details you might otherwise miss, from the ruts worn by chariot wheels in the stone streets to the political campaign notices still visible on building walls.
