Overview

Spend two unhurried hours with ancient Greek and Roman art on a private tour of the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, CA, set in gardens above the Pacific coast.

🗿 Explore Greek and Roman sculpture and antiquities with your own guide

🏛️ Discover how a buried villa in Herculaneum inspired the museum's design

🕰️ Trace thousands of years of history, from the Stone Age to the fall of Rome

🌿 Wander gardens with fountains, mosaics and ocean views

With two full hours at the Getty Villa, there's time to slow down and really take in the ancient world. The museum is built as a recreation of a lavish first-century Roman country house in Herculaneum, Italy, the kind of home that vanished under Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. A private guide leads your group through its collection of Greek and Roman art, which spans thousands of years of history from the end of the Stone Age to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Expect myths, emperors and everyday ancient life brought to life through the objects on display, plus plenty of time for questions. The tour also takes in the villa's gardens, where fountains and mosaics frame views of the Pacific. It's an excellent gift for history lovers and anyone who enjoys a museum visit with real storytelling.
