Discovering Pompeii and Herculaneum - VIP Tour with Lunch
Overview
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.
