Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvius drive [SHARED GROUP TOUR]
Description
Discover the legendary ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, both tragically devastated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. This comprehensive tour allows you to explore two distinct UNESCO archaeological sites in a single day.
Begin at the sprawling site of Pompeii, buried under ash and lapilli. Stroll the ancient Roman streets, witnessing large-scale public life in its thermal baths, amphitheaters, and the impressive remains of ornate residences like the Villa of the Mysteries.
Next, uncover Herculaneum, buried by fast-moving pyroclastic flow. Due to the different manner of destruction, Herculaneum offers a contrastingly intimate view, featuring remarkably preserved organic materials like timber, original house structures, and chilling skeletal remains. You’ll clearly appreciate the main differences between these two cities locked in time.
