About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pompeii - Archaeological Area., Porta Marina Superiore (Via Villa dei Misteri) Piazza Immacolata, Piazza Porta Marina inf., 80045 Pompeii Italy
You will visit the ruins of Pompeii for 2 hours with an official licensed guide (we will arrange an excellent one on your behalf).
Pompeii was destroyed, and completely buried, during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in AD 79. The volcano collapsed higher roof-lines and buried Pompeii under 25 feet of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Parco Acheologico di Ercolano, Corsa Resina, 80056 Ercolano Italy
You will visit the ruins of Herculaneum with an official licensed guide (we will arrange an excellent one on your behalf).
Herculaneumwas was most founded by the Oscans, an Italic tribe of the 8th century BC, and later became part of both the Etruscan and Samnite dominions. Under control of the Romans, the city was a renowned seaside resort where some of the richest Roman citizens passed their summer vacations.
Unlike neighboring Pompeii, the citizens of Herculaneum were suffocated to death by poisonous fumes rather than buried under heavy ash. The town was partially buried by a thick layer of mud (50 feets) and Lava.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Cantina del Vesuvio Russo Family Winery, Via Panoramica, 65, 80040 Trecase NA, Italy
You will visit the winery Cantina del Vesuvio where you will join an outstanding view at the feet of Mount Vesuvius and taste the food specialties of the Campania region accompanied with the famous wine called Lacryma Christy (tears of Christ).
