Itinerary

Practical Info

This special tour is not only made-for-children – to arouse their interest -but mainly made-by-children-on-tour: kids will be the actual guides of the excursion finding their way through our special map. Through games, riddles, clues, mimes, etc.. the map of the Ancient City will be reconstructed with its inhabitants and its life.

During the visit, some games will award the kids of little characters to stick to the map – which they can take home.

At the end of the tour, the family will be provided with our original Pompeii For Kids Activity Book to continue the discovery of Pompeii and the Roman World on their own.

The aim of the tour is to provide families or small groups with a chance to visit the highlights of the Ancient Pompeii without the risk of getting tired or bored.

All of the following places will be visited: the Forum, a Theatre, a Bath House, a Tavern, a Private Home and a Temple.

My 10 year old loves history but doesn’t always follow along if there is a large group, so I booked a private family option. We were so lucky to be with Laura, she made Pompeii come alive for us. She had my 10 year old and my teen so engaged that we lost track of time and almost missed our train and had to make a dash for the train. If you want kids to learn and appreciate history, then this is the tour for you and Laura is the person (ask for her :))

It does not get any better than Fabrizio who spoke perfect English, was punctual, a fantastic driver and car and his knowledge and ability to grab the the interests of a 12 year old as well as his grandparents. He is warm, personable and gracious. There should be more tour guides as caring as he was during our tour
