INFO for visitors:
Guided tours can be requested at the entrances to the site of Pompeii at Piazza Esedra and Porta Marina between 9.00 am and 3.00 pm. Through its concessionary, the Archaeological Park is exclusively responsible for dealing with requests for guided tours. The service is provided by qualified freelance guides who can be recognised by their badges. The prices, routes and durations of visits are agreed directly with the guides.
