Vesuvius & Herculaneum Excursion

We'll meet at 9:30 am at Piazza Garibaldi, where we'll board a bus to Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city known for its wealth and cultural heritage. Upon arrival, you'll receive a skip-the-line ticket to access the site, allowing you to explore at your leisure. Key monuments to see include the House of the Deer, the Forum Baths, and the House of Neptune and Amphitrite.

After three hours of visiting Herculaneum, we'll proceed to Mount Vesuvius, enjoying the scenic views of the Gulf of Naples along the way. Upon arrival, we will ascend to 1,000 meters, where you can walk to the crater of Vesuvius and enjoy views of the Bay of Naples.

Discover the slopes of the volcano formed by solidified lava flows and learn about the eruption that buried Herculaneum and Pompeii in 79 AD. After the visit, we'll return to Naples, with drop-off at the starting point around 4:30 pm.
