Pompeii - Private Tour (skip-the-line admission included)

Pompeii is undeniably the most important archeological site in the world. An entire city perfectly preserved just like it was back in 79 A.D., when a tremendous eruption of the nearby volcano Mt. Vesuvius buried it under a deep layer of ashes and lapilli. Pompeii is very different from any other archaeological site in the world. There are ancient ruins in Rome, Greece, Egypt, Central America and other wonderful places on the planet, but in none of those except for Pompeii you can still walk down the original ancient streets and find them as lively as they were back then. You can walk in the same houses people lived in, in the same temples they prayed in and be in the same places they worked in and they had fun in. You can even still see the tracks of their carriages left on the road surface; the pipes the drinking water ran into; and last but not least, the “petrified” bodies of the victims of the eruption.
