Highlights
The ancient city of Herculaneum and Vesuvius in a single day. A complete and exciting tour full of history, art, archeology and wonderful landscapes. A unique experience in total relaxation, without long waiting lines and with a comfortable and uncrowded transfer. Herculaneum is similar to Pompeii Ruins (same historical period and same destiny by Vesuvius eruption of 79 A.D.) but the architecture, the frescoes and "the mood of life" are different. Here you have two hours to visit everything. The price includes the entry ticket to visit the Archeological Site. Vesuvius Tour: The bus goes to the Vesuvius National Park (40 minutes) and stops at 1000 metres high and there customers will have free time for the visit of Crater.

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).
