Tour Highlights

Enjoy the ancient wonders of Pompeii and Herculaneum on this full-day tour, delving into the distinct experiences offered by each site due to different volcanic destruction.
Pompeii, buried under layers of ash and pumice after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, provides a wealth of archaeological insights into Roman daily life. The preserved ruins offer a glimpse into ancient streets, homes, and public buildings frozen in time.
In contrast, Herculaneum, a smaller but equally significant site, showcases a more luxurious aspect of Roman life. Buried under mud and volcanic material, this town reveals well-preserved villas, mosaics, and even carbonized furniture, contributing to its historical significance in understanding the Roman Empire’s opulence and demise.
