Overview

Step into ancient Rome on a private 1.5-hour tour of the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, CA, a recreated first-century Roman country house overlooking the Pacific.

🏺 See highlights of ancient Greek and Roman art with a private guide

🌋 Learn how the villa recreates a Roman home buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

⛲ Stroll gardens decorated with fountains and mosaics

🌊 Take in views over the Pacific Ocean

The Getty Villa feels less like a museum and more like time travel. It is a near replica of a luxurious Roman residence in Herculaneum, Italy, which was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. On this private 1.5-hour tour, a guide walks your group through the highlights of its collection of ancient Greek and Roman art, sharing the stories behind the sculptures, vessels and everyday objects of the ancient world.

Between galleries, you'll explore the villa's lush gardens, complete with fountains, mosaics and views over the Pacific. It's a relaxed, engaging introduction to the classical world, perfect for history buffs, first-time visitors and anyone who has ever wondered what life looked like 2,000 years ago.
