Pompeii Marina Gate Tour

"Join Aldo and visit the ruins of Pompeii, which were buried in 79 AD by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.  The city had everything - outdoor theaters, banks, bars, public baths, health clinics, and brothels.  After the tour, visit a Cameo factory for a unique demonstration by skilled artisans."  -- ITT Day Tour Brochure

For pictures of the Cameo factory, look at the Herculaneum link.

There are two tours of Pompeii - Marina Gate and Amphitheater.  Sometimes a third tour is offered, but we haven't seen it listed in the year that we've been in Italy.

The Forum.  

"This was the heart of Pompeii's daily life and housed the most important municipal, religious and commercial buildings in the town, in addition to being the intersection of the main streets.  Around the forum we find the town's most important temples, the public offices where the administrative authorities governed the town, as well as legal offices and a few markets.  There were no private houses at all." -- taken from The Guide to the Archeological Site Pompeii.
