Pompeii & Herculaneum Tour – Two cities, one eruption, timeless emotions
Discover in just one day the two most extraordinary Roman cities ever brought to light: Pompeii and Herculaneum, both buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, but each with its own history and charm.
The day begins among the vast ruins of Pompeii, where you can stroll along paved streets, admire temples, patrician villas, ovens and theaters, and imagine the frenetic life of one of the most populous cities of ancient Rome. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will discover the secrets kept under the ash for almost two thousand years.
You will move to Herculaneum, smaller but incredibly better preserved. Here the frescoes, mosaic floors, wooden beams and even the furniture tell a more intimate and refined daily life. A surprising site, which offers a unique immersion in Roman life.
Two faces of the same tragedy, for a complete and exciting archaeological journey.
