Embark on a journey through time with this Self-Guided Audio Tour of Pompeii. Aimed at explorers fascinated by history and ancient cultures, this tour is a deep dive into the daily life of a city frozen in time by volcanic ash. Starting at the Porta Marina, the gateway to Pompeii's once-thriving city, the tour winds through the cobbled streets and visits homes, temples, and even an ancient brothel. Along the way, the stories of the past are brought to life through the ruins and remnants of what was once a bustling Roman city. The tour begins where the sea kissed Pompeii's shores at the Porta Marina and ends with the vivid frescoes of the Villa of the Mysteries. In between these points, you'll step inside the House of the Surgeon, marvel at the mosaics in the House of the Faun, and stand in silence at the Garden of the Fugitives. At the conclusion of your adventure, the most memorable moments will stay with you: the towering columns of the Temple of Jupiter, the tragic plaster casts of those caught in nature's fury, and the astonishing endurance of art and architecture through time.

The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 C.E. presented a paradoxical situation. While it caused immense devastation, wiping out entire communities, it also bestowed upon history an unparalleled collection of well-preserved remnants from an ancient city. This city is known as Pompeii and its awe-inspiring ruins attract countless visitors, making it one of Italy's most renowned destinations. When Vesuvius unleashed its explosive power, equivalent to 100,000 atom bombs, the inhabitants of Pompeii met a swift demise. Paradoxically, the combination of scorching ash and aridity proved instrumental in preserving the city over millennia. Consequently, the remarkable sights we witness today provide an extraordinary glimpse into life during the Roman era. The remnants reveal intricate details of daily existence. Within the confines of Sirico's house, for instance, lies a notable inscription that reads "Salve lucru" (meaning "Welcome, profit"). This inscription indicates Sirico's ownership of a trading company. With an expanse exceeding 50 hectares, visitors have the opportunity to traverse the Forum with the imposing backdrop of Vesuvius or find solace beneath a tree, marveling at the awe-inspiring amphitheater. Remnants of the essential aqueduct, street fountains, and public baths.
