Travel back in time to one of the most significant events in Italy's history with a visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum. Additionally, you will hike to the highest point of Mount Vesuvius, the most notorious active volcano in Campania.

Discover the Tragedy

This tour centers on the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which devastated the prosperous cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The meeting point is at Via Roma, from where a minibus will transport you to Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum, and Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius, reaching over 1000 meters (3280 feet) in height, will be the first destination. An expert volcanologist will provide insights into the volcanic activity and the events that led to the eruption. Afterward, you will have free time to climb to the summit and enjoy views of the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento Coast.

Your next stop will be Herculaneum, where you will explore the site at your own pace, walking the ancient streets. You'll see houses, pubs, temples, and mosaics that showcase life during the Ancient Roman Empire.

After Herculaneum, you will proceed to the World Heritage Site of Pompeii. An audioguide in English will be provided to uncover the secrets of this once-great city. You will walk the streets and pass iconic buildings like the House of the Faun and the Basilica, and observe detailed mosaics and plaster casts of the victims.

The tour concludes back at the starting point in Pompeii after an 8-hour historic experience.
