Ancient City of Pompeii: Guided Tour

In AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted, and Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash in an instant. Yet it was also this very disaster that “sealed” an entire Roman city in time, leaving behind a three-dimensional historical record for future generations.

On this Chinese guided tour, we will reconnect the scattered ruins back into a real city, helping you imagine how Pompeii’s residents lived, bathed, conducted business, and socialized. We will explain the stories and purpose behind every fresco, and recreate the scene of a city that was once fully alive and functioning.

Our in-depth journey will take you along 2,000-year-old stone-paved streets to read the order of Roman city planning — from the logic of urban layout, to drainage systems, and even the chariot tracks imprinted into daily life. We will explore the living spaces of different social classes, decoding how wealth and aesthetics were expressed through atriums, gardens, and wall paintings.

We will also walk through public baths, theaters, and the forum — once the core of Pompeii’s social and political life. At corner bakeries and taverns, you will experience the vibrant “takeaway food culture” of a Roman city two millennia ago. Finally, by understanding these unique human plaster casts, we will reconstruct the events of the very day the volcano erupted.

During the tour, we explain complex archaeology and historical context in everyday, relatable Chinese — without overwhelming you with dates or focusing on shock value. We never frame Pompeii as a sensational “disaster site.” Our storytelling revolves around “how the city worked,” allowing you to glimpse the brilliance of Roman civilization beyond the tragedy, and appreciate the true value of the culture it once held.

Official tickets to Pompeii are limited and queues at the site can be long. We recommend booking early to secure your visit, ensuring you can fully understand the real yesterday of ancient Rome through this immersive Chinese-guided experience.
