Highlights
After a long sleep, on 24 October 79 AD. Vesuvius woke up. This eruption was apocalyptic, as it destroyed the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Herculaneum was discovered in the 18th century and became one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Today Herculaneum boasts several landmarks such as the house with the mosaic atrium, the house of the Cervo, the Terme del Foro, the house of the mosaic of Neptune, and Amphitrite, which are definitely worth a visit. Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii and can be visited in an hour and a half. This tour includes pickup from Naples and commentary in the available languages. Strolling through the streets of Herculaneum, you will be offered a unique glimpse into the private life of the Romans. A unique experience that will allow you to feel the panic that surprised the inhabitants of the city when the volcano exploded.

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).
