See Pompeii before and during Vesuvius’s eruption with 3D reconstructions, then add the archaeological site for a fuller visit.

“Très belle expérience (à faire avant la visite de Pompei) avec le médiateur qui nous a accueillis et qui nous a guidés en français pour saisir chaque lieu (reconstruits de manière virtuelle et par maquettes) à découvrir ensuite dans les vestiges réels de Pompei. Un vrai plus en termes d'anecdotes et de connaissances sur la vie et le quotidien (mais aussi la disparition) des gens de cette époque. Un vrai plus également pour saisir de manière concrète ce qu'a pu être l'éruption du Vésuve (monte Somma). Un grand merci au médiateur du musée pour cette belle entrée en matière !!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $150

Review of Paestum’s temples and National Museum tour with Roberta Avilia, including costs, timing, private-group value, and practical booking advice.

“Roberta is a walking encyclopaedia concerning Paestum and the Greek temples. We experienced a wonderful morning tour with Roberta who met us on time and ensured we were informed of the complete history of the archeological park as well as the museum. She ensured that not only once the tour was completed that she came back to inform us of an additional tour that was to take place later on in the museum. Highly recommend Roberts for any tour, she is lovely, welcoming and extremely professional and ensured you learnt at a relaxed pace.”

Highly recommend anyone especially family with…”
