You can relax at the Spa, you can eat and drink wine in a Caupona, playing dice. Later you will be enclosed in the Domus’s world, with their varied dimensions and countless architectural structures. In these Domus we will learn the owners' customs and traditions, their favorite food, their activities in the spare time. The specialized GTA guide is also able to explaine the love of ancient times using hot but never vulgar words.
You can visit the houses that have been recently reopened after long restoration works such as the magnificent House of Golden Cupids where you will be enraptured by the mystery of the two obsidian mirrors. Along the way, the Guide will show you some amazing details, such as the extraordinary overlap of two frescoes. It was created with the sole purpose of making the Domus more "fashionable".
In a city like Pompeii there was no lack of industries; the textiles, for production of woollen fabrics, was the most profitable. So the tour must include a so interesting and charming stop, where you will be able to imagine the particular "smells" coming from the production of woollen cloths.
