Pompeii + Herculaneum Day Trip

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius devastated the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. This day trip will explore what these cities were like.

Description

We will pick you up at your meeting point and drive to the ruins of Pompeii, buried under lava and ash during the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Upon arrival, we will begin a guided tour of Pompeii. This tour lasts approximately 2 hours, covering key sites such as the House of the Faun, the Amphitheatre, and the House of Menander.
