Hometown to Nero’s wife, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii disappeared under a thick layer of volcanic ashes, blasted over the city as a consequence of a devastating volcanic eruption which killed its inhabitants making it disappear for about 1500 years, until it was rediscovered as one of the best-preserved ancient spots of the world. Frozen at the moment it was buried, this unique archeological site provides a unique snapshot of the Ancient Roman city life. Walking along the streets of Pompeii, you’ll discover houses, bakeries, and shops and you’ll catch a glimpse into the everyday lives of the Ancients. Join us on this full-day excursion: you can comfortably wait for our pick-up service at your centrally located hotel, or reach us at our meeting point. You’ll meet your tour leader and, as the stunning Naples is on the way from Rome to Pompeii, we’ll pass through it and have a brief stop. A visit to Pompeii demands lots of walking, so wear a pair of comfortable shoes and don’t worry: before entering the ancient city, we’ll have lunch with an authentic Neapolitan pizza and a drink. Once in Pompeii, you’ll meet your local professional guide, who’ll provide you with earphones and audio receiver and will tell you everything about Mount Vesuvius’ cataclysmic eruption in 79 AD and how it destroyed this big ancient city. At the end of the visit, we’ll board our bus and travel back to Rome. On a budget? Go for our ticket-only option, bring your own lunch and visit Pompeii on your own, at your pace!
