Overview

Discover the fascinating lost world of antiquity in two of Italy’s most spectacular archaeological sites. Buried by rivers of choking ash after the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were paradoxically preserved by the very forces that heralded their destruction. Wander cobblestoned streets and explore houses and shops, baths, bakeries and more just as they were 2,000 years ago. Let our expert guides bring the ruins spectacularly to life, and learn what life was like in antiquity as you embark on an incredible journey back in time to the heyday of ancient Rome. We’ll take care of private transportation from your hotel in Naples and between the sites too, meaning that you’ll be travelling in comfort!
