  First stop is Pompeii: you will enjoy the Pompeii Archaeological Park (Skip-The-Line Tickets included). You can go inside on your own or if you wish, you have the option to include a private licensed guide for an additional fee. If no private guide option is chosen, you can rent audio-guides (availables in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Japanese). Pompeii Ruins: Visiting Pompeii is not like a museum , is as live again in an ancient roman commercial town of 3 Km. Buildings, temples, shops catched in the time of the eruption. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many ancient towns in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

  Last stop Herculaneum Archaeological Park (Skip-The-Line Tickets included): Born in the archaic age and initially inhabited by an indigenous settlement, the city was later exposed to Samnitic, Greek, and Etruscan influences, up to the predominance of Roman civilisation, still today visible and in an excellent state of preservation. Situated on a volcanic plateau, sheer over the sea, Herculaneum like the other cities of Vesuvius was submerged by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D., which buried it beneath a layer of debris measuring up to twenty-three metres in height.
