Step back nearly 2,000 years and explore the hauntingly preserved cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, once vibrant Roman towns frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This guided tour offers an unforgettable dive into daily life in the ancient Roman Empire, where streets, villas, frescoes, and even graffiti remain astonishingly intact.
Start your day at Pompeii, walk along the stone-paved streets lined with homes, shops, and temples.
After Pompeii, a short drive (20–30 minutes) takes you to Herculaneum, a smaller but wealthier coastal town, less crowded and better preserved due to a different type of volcanic burial (mud and ash). The site gives a more intimate view of Roman domestic life compared to Pompeii.
Marvel at the ruins of thiese ancient cities frozen in time and make unforgettable memories!
