About this experience

This excursion involves visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum with an archaeologist guide. It accommodates a small group of up to 20 participants. Travelers meet their guide and driver at Naples Centrale Station and take a minibus to Herculaneum. The visit includes exploring well-preserved streets, houses, baths, frescoes, and mosaics, while learning about life prior to the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. A stop at La Cartiera precedes the visit to Pompeii, where the group will see key sites such as the Forum, public buildings, shops, and private houses. Throughout the tour, the archaeologist provides insights into Roman history and daily life. After the tour, participants return to Naples by minibus.
