The private tour "Eat like a Roman in Pompeii" will allow you to discover the ancient city that was devastated by Vesuvius during the eruption of 79 A.D. and to have lunch or dinner (depending on your choice to start the tour at 9.30 or 15.30) in a very typical restaurant. It is possible to freely set the meeting place and pickup time according to your needs. Today, the archaeological site of Pompeii is one of the cultural places with the largest number of visitors in the world. Pompeii was an ancient and rich Roman city.
The interest in the discovery of what was submerged by ashes and lapilli following the eruption of the powerful volcano brought to light not only a city, but also a series of objects that the ancient Romans used in their daily life. The Macellum, the Basilica, the Terme are just some of the places to visit; many frescoes have been found in excellent condition, including those of the Lupanare area. In addition, in order to make your experience even more engaging, this private tour also includes an archaeological guide, which will provide you with all the relevant secrets and information about the site of interest. In particular, great attention will be paid to thermopolium (literally, a place where you sell (something) hot) that in ancient Rome was a commercial facility where it was possible to buy ready food. At the end of your visit inside the ruins, just a few steps from the archaeological site, you can enjoy lunch (or dinner) at Caupona, which offers its guests a magical atmosphere, a perfect mix of food and history that will catapult you, as if I were in a time machine in ancient Rome. Here you will see the exact reproduction of a thermopolium, from which, in fact, the term "Caupona" derives.
You will taste the cuisine of ancient Rome through the recipes of gourmet chef Marco Gavio Apicio (from the book De re Conquinaria). Here, the staff wears vintage clothes and the dishes are served in terracotta plates. This tour is highly recommended for all those who show a particular interest in history, food, wine and forgotten "flavors" of ancient Pompeii. At the end, our driver will take you back to your departure destination.
