What to expect
You’ll depart Naples and travel to the archaeological area around Mount Vesuvius. The day combines two UNESCO-level highlights:
Pompeii, the vast Roman city frozen in time, and Herculaneum, a smaller town that often surprises visitors with how well
buildings and details survived the eruption.
Your guide leads walking visits through streets, homes, and public spaces, helping you understand what daily life looked like in ancient Campania—and how the
79 AD eruption reshaped the region. After the Pompeii visit, you’ll have time for a light Italian lunch at a restaurant near the site.
