Travel inland to the ancient city of Pompeii. As soon as you reach the destination you won’t deal with the crowds and the very long lines; our tour includes the priority access to both archaeological areas .
Blanketed by volcanic ash for centuries, ancient Pompeii was remarkably well preserved when it was discovered and it has kept archaeologists and visitors enthralled ever since. With an official expert guide you will explore the ruins bringing back to life the history and myths of the prosperous Romans.
During your walking tour, you’ll learn about the Mt. Vesuvius eruption of AD 79, which buried the town, and admire the remainings that hark back to ancient times. Explore the alleyways of the old commercial center, and stand before the remains of monuments such as the Temple of Jovis, the Macellum (market), and the public baths.
Pompeii holds a unique charm for its visitors tand it’s considered an open air museum, one of the biggest Romans remainings together with the Rome.
After your Pompeii tour, enjoy some free time to have lunch nearby or just relax in a nice cafè.
Than let’s head to Herculaneum; another city that was buried after the AD 79 eruption. The city is perfectly preserved from the passing of the years thanks to the flood of mud and lava that hardened the whole extent into soft tufa; a kind of soft rocks that petrified the town. Nowadays, it is still possible to admire the mosaics, the artifacts and the frescoes on the walls of the residential houses.
Although it was smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum was a wealthier town close to the sea and a popular destination for the Roman elites.
Regular excavations began in 1738, after some diggings in the early 1.700s, and have continued ever since. Today, only a part of the ancient site has been excavated, and many other treasures have to be discovered.
