About this experience
This tour involves exploring the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii with an archaeologist and professional guide. The experience includes private transportation in a comfortable minivan. Herculaneum, although smaller than Pompeii, is better preserved, buried under 20 meters of mud. It features second stories, carbonized wooden objects, and intact paintings and mosaics. Your guide will provide detailed explanations to enhance your understanding of the site. Pompeii allows for a broader exploration, where you can walk through the streets and see significant public buildings and private houses. The guide will share insights into the history of the city and Roman life. The itinerary may change.
