What to expect
Your guide meets you for an eight-hour journey across two sites separated by 30 minutes' drive. At each location, children work through interactive materials—spotting details, solving puzzles, collecting stickers—whilst adults receive genuine archaeological depth: the layout of shops, the detail of frescoes, the social hierarchies embedded in room sizes. You'll walk genuinely ancient streets at a conversational pace, stopping when something captures attention. The guide adapts on the fly; if your group lingers over the bakery ovens or the plaster casts, you move on from less compelling areas. Lunch (if selected) breaks the day sensibly, refuelling everyone before the second site.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and apply sunscreen generously—little shade on the ruins. Prams and strollers are manageable on most paths. Tour requires moderate fitness; uneven surfaces and substantial walking distance aren't suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or limited cardiovascular capacity. Bottled water isn't included; bring your own or purchase locally.
