Pompeii & Herculaneum

A day tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum offers an unforgettable journey into ancient Roman history, where you’ll walk through perfectly preserved ruins, streets, and artifacts buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. These UNESCO World Heritage sites provide a fascinating glimpse into the daily life, architecture, and culture of one of history’s greatest civilizations.

​

Explore Pompeii: The Lost City of the Roman Empire
Start your adventure in Pompeii, the larger and more famous of the two cities, where you’ll discover ancient streets, grand villas, temples, and public baths. Walk through the Forum, the heart of political and social life, and marvel at the Temple of Apollo, the Basilica, and the amphitheater—one of the oldest in the Roman world.

​

Step inside the Villa of the Mysteries, known for its well-preserved frescoes, or explore the Lupanar (ancient brothel), showcasing the city's open attitude toward social life. Visit the haunting plaster casts of victims, their expressions frozen in time, offering a powerful reminder of the disaster that struck this once-thriving city.

​

Discover Herculaneum: A Hidden Roman Treasure
Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under a deeper layer of volcanic ash, preserving wooden structures, mosaics, and frescoes in exceptional detail. This smaller but more intimate archaeological site allows visitors to explore luxurious Roman villas, intricate bathhouses, and perfectly preserved household items.

​

Highlights include the House of the Wooden Partition, where furniture and doors remain intact, and the Villa of the Papyri, which contained thousands of ancient scrolls, offering insight into Roman literature and philosophy. Walk along the ancient shoreline, where archaeologists discovered hundreds of skeletons of residents who attempted to escape the eruption.
