3.walking tour with 3D glasses and with entrance ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 61 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $62

Walk Pompeii’s main route for about two hours with an assistant and augmented-reality glasses. At selected stops, reconstructed buildings and scenes appear over the ruins. Roberta, Sara, and Daniela have received especially warm praise, though the tour is not a full traditional guided visit.

“VR Virtual Tour Review Other Than Expected!! 955792040 This review has no reflection on our guide! The 3d tour was totally disappointing that it was not a full narrated tour as we only used the glasses 5 times in a 3 hour tour!! We spent our entire three hour tour not knowing exactly the history of what we were seeing unless we asked or called the guide back to a specific spot. Definitely not worth the cost per our group of 11. Pro - great guide - patiently answered our many questions - took us off the beaten path to uncrowded roads - 3d virtual glasses easy to use -…”
