In addition to Pompeii, the tours often extend to nearby treasures such as Herculaneum, another city lost to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius but less crowded and equally captivating.

Be sure to book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure you secure a spot on these enriching excursions.
