10 Photography Tours in Pompeii That You Shouldn't Miss

July 19, 2021 Joeann Galban

Pompeii is a Roman town frozen in time, thanks to a devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Explore houses from modest to majestic; see Roman shops, baths and brothels; or apply your high-school Latin to the graffiti that's still visible on some of the walls. End your visit at the Villa of the Mysteries, and try to interpret its amazing, bizarre frescoes—scholars have debated their meaning for years.

This is one of the best and most comfortable ways to visit the Amalfi Coast. The driver Diego picked us up directly from our apartment and dropped us in Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, leaving us one hour or more to visit by ourselves the villages. We followed his suggestions about food and what to visit in every village. While driving he told us curiosities, useful information and turned to be a very accurate and pleasant guide and a skilled driver. He was very kind to us and we learned a lot about local culture including traditions, food, legends and so on. He was always on time and we had never to wait for him. We really enjoyed this tour!

Although our tour was a while ago, recent events underscore the importance of a guide in making a lasting memory. Fabrizio Belleni provided us a most wonderful day of history and culture as we efficiently toured Pompeii and were introduced to the Amalfi Coast. His knowledge and driving skill were matched by a desire to understand our interests and guide us to a wonderful mix of sights, and even a relaxed afternoon coffee by the sea. Recently, as the pandemic raised concerns for people we know around the world, we thought of Fabrizio and checked to see how he was doing. This reminded us of how important he was (and continues to be) – to our family’s memory of one great day! Fabrizio is missing in this photo, because he took the picture.

We did the Pompeii for kids (the real one) with Giovanna. She was absolutely amazing. We were a group of 6 with children ages 7, 9, 11 and 13. She did an amazing job of engaging the children and helping us all learn about the city of Pompeii and the life of the Roman society in that time period. She was extremely knowledgable, kind, patient and accommodating. She was also very helpful and kind to provide us other information and tips on the area. I give my highest recommendation.

We did a self- guided tour of Pompeii Ruins we thought we would stay for 3 hours we stayed and looked around for 7 hours. The skip the line tickets with audio guide was a fantastic way of seeing and learning about Pompeii at your own pace and you can make your own decisions on what you want to see and how long you want to stay highly recommend the service and information given to us by this group.
