- We recommend booking the tour in the morning, especially in warmer months, as the site lacks shaded areas for rest. Starting early ensures a more comfortable visit.
- During the high season, we offer the tour at 3:00 pm to help you avoid cruise ship crowds, as they generally return to their boats in the early afternoon.
- This tour is unavailable on the first Sunday of the month – when Archeological Site admission is free – due to surging crowds.
- To ensure that each guest enjoys a personalized experience, our tour is limited to a maximum of 7 guests. This limitation is in place due to site and car service constraints.

- The site has created a 3.5-km route from Piazza Anfiteatro to the Sanctuary of Venus, making it more accessible to guests – including those with mobility challenges and parents with strollers. This initiative is part of the ongoing Great Pompeii Project, but some areas may remain challenging to navigate.
