Tour itinerary and description

Departure from the hotel

Your driver will pick you up directly at the hotel. Climb aboard one of our comfortable Mercedes vehicles, get ready for a day of historical exploration, relax and enjoy the scenery.

Hotel → Pompeii

Pompeii

The ancient Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.. Unlike Herculaneum, Pompeii was buried under a thick layer of ash and lapilli, which remarkably preserved its architecture, streets and dwellings. Here you can visit:

  • The Roman Forum and the heart of the ancient city.

  • The Grand Theater, still used for performances.

  • Stabian baths and ancient workshops.

  • The Casts of the victims, evidence of the 79 A.D. eruption.

  • The spectacular Villa of the Mysteries with its unique frescoes.

A visit to Pompeii will give you a fascinating insight into daily life in one of the most prosperous cities of the Roman Empire.

Lunch Break

After your visit, stop at a traditional trattoria near Herculaneum to enjoy a traditional lunch. (Our driver will be happy to recommend an excellent traditional restaurant where you can enjoy your lunch break.)

Pompeii → Herculaneum

Herculaneum

The ancient Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under a volcanic mudslide that preserved many buildings, frescoes and wooden structures incredibly well. Here you can visit:

  • Domus and patrician villas featuring original decorations

  • The baths, still well preserved

  • The waterfront, where human remains of those trying to escape were found

  • The mosaics and frescoes, still vividly colored

Herculaneum offers a journey into the past that will allow you to discover how the city has been remarkably preserved by volcanic mudflow.

Herculaneum → Hotel

If possible, the driver may take advantage of the return trip to make a scenic stop for souvenir photos with a backdrop of the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento Coast.
