Overview

The ancient city of Herculaneum and Vesuvius in a single day. A complete and exciting tour full of history, art, archeology and wonderful landscapes. A unique experience in total relaxation, without long waiting lines and with a comfortable and uncrowded transfer. Herculaneum is similar to Pompeii Ruins (same historical period and same destiny by Vesuvius eruption of 79 A.D.) but the architecture, the frescoes and "the mood of life" are different. Here you have two hours to visit everything. The price includes the entry ticket to visit the Archeological Site. Vesuvius Tour: The bus goes to the Vesuvius National Park (40 minutes) and stops at 1000 metres high and there customers will have free time for the visit of Crater. Clients usually have 1 hour and half free time and to reach the Top you just need about 25 minutes by walk. During the walk you will admire Naples Gulf, Sorrento Coast, Capri and more islands.
