Overview

When visiting Rome, you may also want to explore one of the most fascinating ancient sites in the world: Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But traveling with kids can sometimes be a challenge, especially on long journeys. That’s why we’ve crafted this hassle-free, family-friendly tour to Pompeii, with a private chauffeur for a smooth journey and a kid-friendly guide waiting for you at the site to bring history to life for your little adventurers.

Your journey begins in the morning when your chauffeur picks you up from your hotel or apartment in Rome. Get comfortable in your private van and enjoy the ride—it takes about 2.5 hours to reach Pompeii. Along the way, you’ll pass stunning views of the Italian countryside, and your driver will make sure you travel in total comfort.

Once in Pompeii, you’ll take a well-deserved lunch break before meeting your expert guide. Whether you go for a classic Neapolitan pizza or other local specialties, it’s the perfect way to refuel before stepping into history.

Now, it’s time to explore one of the world’s most fascinating archaeological sites! Your kid-friendly guide will be waiting to take your family on a thrilling journey back in time. Did you know that this city disappeared almost overnight? In the year 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted with incredible force, covering Pompeii under tons of volcanic ash and rock. Everything was buried and forgotten for more than 1,500 years, until archaeologists uncovered the city, frozen in time.

Walking along the ancient streets, your guide will point out fascinating details of daily life in Pompeii. You’ll step inside well-preserved homes, peek into ancient shops, and even spot the remains of fast-food stalls where Romans grabbed a quick meal. The thermal baths, once bustling with activity, reveal intricate mosaics and ingenious heating systems that show just how advanced the Romans were.

Of course, no visit to Pompeii would be complete without a stop at the grand amphitheater, one of the oldest in the Roman world. Imagine the roar of the crowd as gladiators stepped into the arena, fighting for glory in front of thousands of spectators. Even today, standing in this vast structure, you can almost hear the echoes of the past.

But this isn’t just a history lesson—your storytelling expert will turn the visit into a real exploration mission! Who can spot the Roman bakery? What did people eat back then? What clues can you find about daily life in Pompeii?

After this incredible journey back in time, your chauffeur will be waiting to take you back to Rome. The kids will love sharing their discoveries along the way, while you sit back and relax, knowing you’ve just experienced a once-in-a-lifetime family adventure.

FAQ

How long do we spend in Pompeii?

Around 3 hours. Pompeii covers nearly 170 acres (about 66 hectares), making it one of the largest archaeological sites in the world. While it would take days to explore everything, our guided tour focuses on the most fascinating and well-preserved areas, giving you a great overview of daily life in ancient Rome.

Will we have to wait in line?

[bouton_read_more]

Our skip-the-line tickets allow direct entry, but there may still be a short wait for security checks at the entrance.

Is Pompeii kid-friendly?

Absolutely! With our expert guide bringing the ruins to life through fun stories and interactive discoveries, kids stay engaged and entertained throughout the visit. While Pompeii involves a lot of walking on uneven cobblestone streets with little shade, wearing sturdy walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will help keep everyone comfortable. The drive to Pompeii is in a spacious, air-conditioned vehicle, so you can relax before and after the adventure.

Can we bring a stroller or a wheelchair?

Pompeii is not very stroller- or wheelchair-friendly. The ancient streets are made of uneven cobblestones, with many steps and obstacles along the way—it can feel like an obstacle course! If you’re traveling with young children, a baby carrier is a much better option than a stroller. For wheelchair users, some limited accessible paths exist, but navigating the site remains very challenging. 

Is this Pompeii day tour suitable for teenagers?

Yes! Teens usually find Pompeii fascinating, especially with our guide bringing the ruins to life through intriguing stories and surprising facts. From ancient homes to Roman temples, they’ll explore the site in a way that makes history exciting and engaging!

Can we start and end the tour in different locations?

Of course! By default, the tour includes round-trip transportation from Rome, but if you’d like to start in Rome and finish in Naples or the Amalfi Coast—or even begin the tour from the Amalfi Coast—our Hero Team can arrange it for you. Just click here and we’ll take care of the rest!
