Full description

Experience an unforgettable shore excursion from Naples including a group tour in Pompeii and Herculaneum led by an expert Archaeologist guide. See the major highlights in a small group tour limited to 20 participants.

First, get picked up from Naples Central Station by the driver and the tour guide. Enjoy a comfortable transfer to Herculaneum in a modern minibus.
When you arrive, enter with skip-the-line tickets and see Herculaneum archaeological site, which was buried under a landslide of 20-meter deep mud.

During the tour, discover carbonized wooden objects, intact paintings, and mosaics which are still preserved.
Highlights include the Temple of the Augustali, the beach where more than 300 skeletons were found, the Thermal Baths, the Forum, the Samnite House, the Gymnasium, the House of the Dears, and much more.

Then transfer to Pompeii and, after a 40 minutes lunch, benefit from skip-the-line entry and take a pleasant walk around the ancient Roman city. Learn about how the area was buried by the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. 

As you walk, learn about the history of the town and how the Romans lived. See all the most important public buildings and private houses on a 2-hour walk.
Highlights include the Marina Gate, the Basilica, the Forum, the Forum Baths, the Lupanar (brothel), the Bakery, the House of Faun, the Termopolium Capuano, the House of Tragic Poet, and the plaster casts.
