Itinéraire

1. Go back to the past and discover the majestic Pompeii Ruins, a place frozen in time! An unmissable day tour that will allow you, literally, to walk the streets of Roman history, discovering incredible architectural masterpieces under the guidance of a knowledgeable archeological guide. After just a 30 minute journey from Naples, you will reach the most significant archaeological sites in the world: in 1748, the long-forgotten town of Pompeii began to be uncovered from its ash-filled grave. It’s air and water-proof covering had left the remains in pristine condition and they gave a fascinating glimpse into everyday life in a Roman town. Your professional guide will take you on a pleasant stroll through the cobbled streets of Pompeii Ruins, built two thousand years ago, where you will admire incredible evidence of civilization, architecture, and art, such as the Stabian Baths, the Forum, the area of theaters, the House of the Faun and the House of the Tragic Poet.

2. After a long sleep, Vesuvius woke up on October 24, 79 AD. This eruption was apocalyptic since 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. Nowadays, Herculaneum boasts several landmarks such as the house with the mosaic Atrium, the house of the Deer, the Thermal spas of the Forum, the house of the mosaic of Neptune and Amphitrite, which definitely deserve to be visited. Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii and can be visited in an hour and a half. This tour includes transfer from Naples and English commentary. As you wander through the streets of Herculaneum, you are not only offered a unique glimpse into the private lives of the Romans, but you can also sense the panic that surprised its inhabitants when the volcano erupted.

About Naples

Passionnée et chaotique au pied du Vésuve, Naples est le berceau de la pizza et la porte d'entrée de Pompéi, de Capri et de la côte amalfitaine.

Le centre historique, un réseau dense de rues tracé par les Grecs de l'Antiquité, est un monde d'églises, d'autels de rue et de linge suspendu entre les balcons. Spaccanapoli le traverse en ligne droite, la Via San Gregorio Armeno est bordée d'ateliers de crèches, et la chapelle Sansevero abrite le stupéfiant Christ voilé. Sous terre, tunnels et citernes révèlent la ville grecque et romaine en dessous.
