The Journey
Herculaneum
Step back in time at Herculaneum, a remarkably preserved ancient Roman town offering a glimpse into daily life before the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried by a pyroclastic surge, preserving wooden structures, furniture, and even food. Wander through its well-preserved streets, marvel at the vibrant frescoes adorning the walls of ancient houses, and explore the boat houses where residents sought refuge from the eruption. An audioguide will enrich your visit, bringing the stories of this once-thriving town to life.
Mount Vesuvius
Ascend the legendary Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano in mainland Europe, and stand on the very edge of the crater that once buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. The climb offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Naples, the surrounding countryside, and the Mediterranean Sea. Learn about the volcano's geological history, its impact on the region, and the ongoing monitoring efforts to ensure the safety of nearby communities. It's a truly awe-inspiring experience that combines natural beauty with the stark reminder of nature's power.
Know Before You Go
This tour includes an audioguide at Herculaneum, lunch, admission fees, and a guide. It does not include gratuities or souvenirs. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes for walking and hiking. Get ready to explore history!
