Step into the past with an extraordinary, private driver-guided tour to the most famous archaeological sites in the world: Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Vesuvius. If you're passionate about history, archaeology, and ancient Roman culture, this day trip from Rome promises a captivating exploration of two of the most remarkable ruins on earth, along with an unforgettable hike up an active volcano. With your own personal licensed guide and private driver at your service, you'll enjoy a seamless, stress-free journey that brings history to life.
Begin your day with a private pick-up from your hotel in Rome, where your English-speaking driver will ensure you travel in comfort and style to the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Pompeii – Often described as the world’s largest open-air museum, Pompeii offers an unparalleled glimpse into daily life during the Roman Empire. Buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city’s ruins have been wonderfully preserved, with streets, homes, shops, and even frescoes and mosaics waiting to tell their stories. As your guide leads you through the city’s Temple of Apollo, House of the Faun, Amphitheatre, and the Baths, you'll uncover the fascinating history of this once-thriving metropolis, frozen in time.
Herculaneum – Smaller but better preserved than Pompeii, Herculaneum is a hidden gem that offers an even more intimate look at ancient Roman life. While Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash, Herculaneum was preserved under a deep layer of mud and lava, which helped protect its buildings and artifacts. As you explore this well-preserved site, marvel at the intricate mosaics, paintings, and well-maintained houses that make Herculaneum one of the most prestigious archaeological sites in the world.
No tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum would be complete without a visit to Mount Vesuvius, the very volcano that forever changed the course of history. After exploring the ruins, your guide will take you on a thrilling hike to the crater’s edge, where you’ll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples. Learn about the volcanic history and the eruption that devastated Pompeii, and experience firsthand the power of the "Good Giant" that continues to shape the landscape and culture of the region.
