Itinerary
Pompeii was an ancient Roman town near modern Naples. Its initial rediscovery was in 1599 and there was a broader rediscovery almost 150 years later in 1748. You will see many villas and temples that were destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet of volcanic ash and pumice in the Mount Vesuvius eruption in AD 79.
Herculaneum was wealthier than Pompeii, characterized by an extraordinary density of fine houses with more lavish use of coloured marble cladding, whose original splendour has been preserved and covered by a deep pyroclastic material.
We'll drive you through the Mount Vesuvius

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
