About this activity
In Pompeii, the guide will take you on an unforgettable journey to the ‘Teatro Grande’; the ‘Teatro Piccolo’, where you can hear the acoustic perfection of the auditorium; you will get a feel for the domestic life of the ancient inhabitants of the town.
Your itinerary will take you along the principal street of commerce; you will also visit the ‘pleasure domes’ before ending the tour of Pompeii in the main square (the Forum) with all its markets. You'll breathe the Roman atmosphere on this trip into the past!
The visit of Pompeii will last 2.5 hours.
Time for lunch: The driver or the guide will suggest a place where you can have lunch according to your preferences.
Herculaneum, together with Pompeii, was violently affected by the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius. However, whilst Pompeii was buried under a layer of ash and lapilli, Herculaneum was covered by a huge mass of mud and volcanic debris. This huge solid mass allowed a better preservation of perishable materials like wood, remnants of food, fabrics, etc.
Our expert guide will make the town come to life, offering you the opportunity to imagine the private lives of ancient Romans. On this tour you will visit the most interesting sites of this ancient town. You’ll dive in a world apart, enter the Roman houses where you could almost hear the voices of the owners calling each other; and see some unique details such as the original doors and all the original furniture of the shops. The itinerary will also include the place that they loved most: the thermal baths.
The visit of Herculaneum will last 2 hours.
