This is a walking Tour to visit on the same day two very important archaeological sites: Pompeii and Herculaneum ruins. Both these sites are linked to their tragic destiny due to the 79 AD eruption of Mt Vesuvius, a volcano that still stands majestically close to the two cities
This is a walking tour (NO transportation is included) and the transfer between the two archaeological sites will take place by EAV Circumvesuviana railway trains (the trip between Pompeii and Herculaneum takes about 15-20 minutes). Skip the line included in the ruins of Pompeii only. (Entrance tickets and train tickets are NOT included).
You’ll meet our professional English-speaking REAL Archaeologist by a pre-arranged meeting point by main entrance of Pompeii site (Porta Marina Superiore). Of course this tour can be customized to your needs and requests and, if you prefer, we can start it from Herculaneum instead of Pompeii. You’ll spend 2 hours in each site (+ transfer time by train from a spot to another)
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meeting with the English-speaking ARCHAEOLOGIST by "Bar Sgambati". BAR SGAMBATI is located just outside the "Pompei Scavi Villa Dei Misteri" train station, so it is very easy if you arrive in Pompeii by CIRCUMVESUVIANA train from Sorrento.
After Pompeii Ruins Guided Tour (duration 2 hours) , the group together with the guide will reach Herculaneum ruins by local Circumvesuviana train (train tickets are NOT included). After the Herculaneum Ruins Guided Tour (duration 2 hours) this Tour will end in Herculaneum ruins.

Although Herculaneum is much smaller than Pompeii, it is better preserved. In fact, Herculaneum, unlike Pompeii, was completely buried under 20 meters of mud that preserved incredibly well the most part of the buildings, furnishings, wooden objects, mosaic floors, etc.
