Pompeii, renowned as the most famous archaeological site globally, was once a thriving Roman city until it succumbed to the ashes of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Now, designated as a UNESCO site, you can immerse yourself in its history by exploring villas, streets, ancient shops, the Macellum, and the Lupanare during the 2-hour visit.
Herculaneum, though smaller than Pompeii, is rich in historical significance. Carlo Borbone III initiated the initial excavation works here, leading to Herculaneum's European fame for its remarkable finds. Notable attractions in Herculaneum include opulent villas with exquisite features. Following stops in Pompeii and Herculaneum, you can opt for a brief lunch with local wine, and your driver will recommend the finest restaurants to try.
