What to Expect
Pompeii & Herculaneum Shared Tour – Discover Ancient Rome
Step into the past and uncover the secrets of ancient Roman life on this immersive shared tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Travel comfortably with a small group and enjoy a perfectly organized day exploring two of the most important archaeological sites in the world.
-
Pompeii
Is the most stunning archaeological site on the Italian Peninsula and one of the most visited. The ruins of Pompeii are an open air museum where visitors can go back in time and discover a city that had been buried in ashes until 1748. Visitors experience the city much as it existed more than 2000 years ago.
-
Herculaneum
The smaller sister of Pompeii, is a destination for lovers of beauty. Visitors to the ancient city have the rare opportunity to see perfectly intact patrician villas. A miracle of preservation where even the wood and ropes of the 2000 year old city are on display, along with stunning brick work, mosaics, and frescos. The detail with which Herculaneum has been preserved is remarkable considering the violence of the 500 C° volcanic flows which ravaged the city.
