Pompeii – Discover an Ancient Roman City

Your day begins with a short drive from Naples to Pompeii, one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With skip-the-line access, you can start exploring without unnecessary waiting. During your visit, a private expert guide will lead you through the excavations, helping you discover the most important parts of the ancient city.

This visit offers a fascinating journey into the past and a closer look at one of the best-known sites of the Roman world.

Optional Herculaneum – A Smaller but Remarkably Preserved Site

If you select the extended option, the experience continues with a visit to Herculaneum, another remarkable Roman town affected by the eruption of Vesuvius.

Smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum is especially appreciated for its excellent state of preservation. Here, you can admire elegant villas, detailed frescoes, colorful mosaics, and impressive remains that offer a more intimate look into ancient Roman life.

A guide is included for this visit as well.
Please note that tickets for Herculaneum are not included and must be purchased on site.

Mount Vesuvius – Walk on the Volcano

After visiting Pompeii, and Herculaneum if included, your private driver will take you to Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that shaped the history of the region.
