Once a thriving city, Pompeii was frozen in time when, in October 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted after centuries of rest, burying the city in layers of ash, pumice, and volcanic matter. On this walking tour with Context Travel expert Roberta Meomartini, you‘ll learn about the perfectly preserved city’s history and former inhabitants.

Decode phallic symbols, explore Basilica Pompeiana, Macellum market, and casts of citizens' final moments. This tour unveils Pompeii's rise, fall, and rediscovery, offering a vivid glimpse into its vibrant, ancient past.
