What to expect

This tour takes you on an unforgettable journey through the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, both buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. In just 4 hours, you’ll explore the most fascinating highlights of these extraordinary archaeological sites.

Herculaneum, smaller but better preserved than Pompeii, offers a unique glimpse into Roman life. Buried under 20 meters of mud, its second stories, carbonized wooden objects, mosaics, and frescoes remain intact. Highlights include the Temple of the Augustali, the beach where 300 skeletons were found, the thermal baths, the house of Neptune and Amphitrite, and much more.

After a quick transfer to Pompeii by Circumvesuviana train, visit the western part of the city, showcasing vibrant public spaces, private homes, and daily life. Key stops include the Forum, the Basilica, the Forum baths, the bakery, the Lupanar, the house of the Faun, and the famous plaster casts. Between sites, you can enjoy free time. This compact yet immersive tour combines history, art, and culture, making it perfect for anyone eager to explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
