What to expect
Pompeii Archaeological Park
Pompeii is one of the most significant pieces of evidence of Roman civilization and provides exceptional information on the art, customs, crafts and daily life of the past. The city has re-emerged after centuries just as it would have been when it was buried in the layer of ash and lava from the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. In what had been one of the most active and splendid centers of Rome, life stopped definitively. - You will have 2 hours free to visit the ruins of Pompeii. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour)
Scavi di Oplontis
By archaeological excavations of Oplontis we mean a series of archaeological finds belonging to the Pompeian suburban area of Oplontis, buried together with Pompeii and Herculaneum after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79: today the archaeological area is located in the center of the modern city of Torre Annunziata and includes an otium villa called «di Poppea» and a rustic villa «di Lucius Crassius Tertius». - You will have 1.5 hours free to walk through the ruins of Oplontis. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour)
Parco Acheologico di Ercolano
The Roman city of Herculaneum, destroyed and buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, was brought back to the chronicles of history in the eighteenth century thanks to Bourbon explorations. - You will have 1.5 hours free to walk among the ruins of Herculaneum. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour) - Between one attraction and another, the customer can decide to stop for a typical lunch, in a beautiful restaurant near Pompeii, overlooking Mount Vesuvius. For adults, together with lunch you can have a tasting of typical Vesuvius wines. Afterwards everyone will be able to take a guided tour of the cellars and vineyards. The lunch with visit will last approximately 2 hours. - You will probably need to add extra hours if you add lunch, since it will take more than 8 hours, but we will decide this together. (TASTING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, MINIMUM VALUE €45) It can be replaced with another restaurant or eliminated.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
