Highlights
This tour consists of a marvelous walk in the company of a competent archaeologist and professional guide through the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, buried by the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Relax in comfortable transportation in a private minivan.
A visit to Herculaneum offers a unique experience; although smaller than Pompeii, it is much better preserved. Buried under 20 meters of mud, it still retains second stories, carbonized wooden objects, intact paintings, and mosaics. With our guide's detailed explanations, the city will come to life before your eyes.
Pompeii, on the other hand, provides a more extensive exploration. Walking through its streets, you will feel as though the town is still alive. Your guide will share the fascinating history of the city and illustrate how the Romans lived, leading you to the most significant public buildings and private houses.
