Save time with skip-the-line entry tickets to both the Pompeii Archaeological Park and the Herculaneum Archaeological Park on this VIP day trip from Naples. Enjoy a light lunch at a local restaurant included in your experience.

Choose your preferred pick-up location in Naples. Sit back and relax as you take in the scenic views on the way to Pompeii, travelling beneath the famous Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that buried the cities in 79 AD.

Discover how buildings, houses, temples, and public spaces were constructed. Walk along the original streets, see beautifully preserved frescoes and mosaics, and gain a deeper understanding of this site.

After a light lunch, continue your journey to Herculaneum.

Explore this remarkably well-preserved Roman town, where many villas still retain their original wooden doors and vibrant frescoes. Thanks to the volcanic mud that covered the city, Herculaneum offers an extraordinary insight into Roman life nearly 2,000 years ago.

    Pompeii Archaeological Park

    Meeting point at your hotel and departure to the famous Pompeii, the ancient Roman city which was buried by the lava during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Due to its healthy climate and pleasant scenery, Pompeii was a holiday resort for rich Romans. Your guide will warmly welcome you at entrance of the excavations and will take you to an unforgettable walking visit of around 2 hours in history! Discover how everything here has remained intact, preserved over time by the lava of Vesuvius, learn the interesting story of the daily life of the ancient Romans and admire the unique buildings, houses and temples made with advanced architectural techniques.

    2 hours • Admission ticket included
  • Parco Acheologico di Ercolano (Pass by)

    At the end lunch in a typical restaurant then continue to the famous Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city which, according the legend, was founded by Hercules and which was buried with mud, cinder and lava during the eruption of the Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Your guide will warmly welcome you at entrance of the excavations and will take you to an unforgettable walking visit of 1h30min in history! Herculaneum, unlike Pompeii, was mainly covered by ash and mud, only partially by lava, so everything is better preserved than Pompeii: still houses have their doors and frescos in a very good status. This village was smaller than Pompeii and was mainly a residential area.

    Admission ticket free
