About

The Tour of Pompeii for kids is something you should not miss if you are in Italy. The Pompeii tour with Kids Tours of Rome is a fantastic private tour to show firsthand what is perhaps the most famous history lesson of Italy that kids learn in school. The volcanic eruption of AD 79 buried the ancient Roman cities Pompeii and Herculaneum. Nowadays, only about 2/3 of the total area of ancient Pompeii has been excavated and less than 1/3 of the excavated buildings are possible to visit.

Besides being at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius, Pompei is also near the Amalfi Coast, famous for its iconic coastal winding drive through historic seaside villages perched on cliffs and down the hillside to small rocky beaches below. An option to add a coastal drive or a hike to the volcano are possible to make this family tour a full day excursion. ​

Pompeii is best seen with a local guide who knows the history there and can clearly explain everything you see. It is an exciting venue for families with children of all ages. Wait to see the reaction of your children when they hear the stories about volcanoes. Come discover this lost city with one of our family friendly guides for an unforgettable experience!
