Full description

This guided treasure hunt in Pompeii is specially created for kids and families who want to discover history in a fun, interactive way. Led by a real, licensed guide—not an app or multimedia device—the experience transforms the ancient ruins into an open-air playground of stories, clues, and challenges. Children actively participate by solving riddles, spotting details, and working as a team, while parents enjoy clear explanations and fascinating insights into Roman daily life. The pace is relaxed and flexible, designed to keep young explorers engaged without feeling overwhelmed.

Rather than passive sightseeing, families learn by doing: walking ancient streets, exploring houses, and uncovering secrets hidden in temples, shops, and frescoes. The guide adapts the activities to the children’s ages, ensuring everyone feels involved and motivated throughout the visit.

For families who want to create a full-day experience, optional extensions are available. You can hike up Mount Vesuvius to understand the dramatic eruption, visit the beautifully preserved ruins of Herculaneum, or explore the lively city of Naples, with its food, culture, and stunning views. These add-ons turn the treasure hunt into a complete, memorable family day.

Bruno was absolutely wonderful! There were so many things we wanted to see, but we knew our kids would get bored quickly. Bruno made sure they were engaged the entire time and they loved every second of it. The parents and grandparents also loved it! It is 100% worth the money to do the family tour if you have kids. Our kids were ages 7,8 and 10.

Una caccia al tesoro divertente e stimolante: Bruno, la guida, oltre che essere competente, sa coinvolgere i bambini con storie, aneddoti e immagini storiche. Due ore piacevoli, assolutamente consigliata!

Ho partecipato alla caccia tesoro in lingua inglese a Milano come parte di un team building organizzato dalla mia azienda con colleghi di Francia e Spagna (gruppo di circa 28 persone). Bruno, la nostra guida, è stato molto competente e bravissimo a coinvolgere tutti, anche i colleghi stranieri. Pur essendo di Milano, ho scoperto tanti aneddoti e fatti storici sulla città (e anche sul nostro Paese in generale) che non conoscevo. È stata un’esperienza molto istruttiva e divertente, assolutamente consigliata!
