Highlights

This tour will take you to the ruins of Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city that was buried by the mud and ashes of the 79 AD eruption. This was a center for the aristocrats and intellectuals of the empire who mainly had their holiday homes along the sea near the bustling city of Naples. You will be amazed by the exquisite designs of mosaics, frescoes and decorations still visible to this day. Lunch break in a local restaurant with a 3-course tourist menu, drinks not included. The tour manager will meet you from the closest pick-up point to your accommodation between 11:00 and 11:45 (see timetable) and this tour will last approximately 5 hours in total. Check out our full list of free scheduled pickup locations or provide us with your accommodation address and we'll arrange it for you.

About Naples

Passionate and chaotic beneath Vesuvius, Naples is the birthplace of pizza and the gateway to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

The historic centre, a dense grid of streets laid out by the ancient Greeks, is a world of churches, street shrines and laundry strung between balconies. Spaccanapoli cuts straight through it, Via San Gregorio Armeno is lined with nativity-scene workshops, and the Sansevero Chapel holds the astonishing Veiled Christ. Underground, tunnels and cisterns reveal the Greek and Roman city below.

Top-ranked sights in Naples: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
