Private Pompeii and Herculaneum Tour with Local Guide and Skip-the-Line Tickets

A private local guide takes the group through both Vesuvian towns in one outing, with admission tickets and skip-the-line entry already covered. Pompeii takes about 2.5 hours and Herculaneum about 2.

In Pompeii the route includes the Teatro Grande and the Teatro Piccolo, where the acoustics still carry, a walk along the main commercial street, the so-called pleasure domes and, to finish, the Forum, the center of public life in any Roman settlement. Herculaneum is the place to step inside the houses: original doors, roof beams and shop furniture survive, and the thermal baths are the most popular stop.

Transport between the two sites is not arranged. The Circumvesuviana train links Pompeii and Herculaneum, or travelers can use their own car.
