The tour includes the tragic plaster casts of the Pompeiians who were immortalized on that devastating day by pyroclastic flow and ash.

After some rest-and-recharge with top-notch local fare, a short transfer will take us to our second destination. 

While Pompeii was mainly preserved thanks to a thick layer of volcanic ash and pumice, Herculaneum was buried under a mixture of ash and mud, which solidified over time to create the perfect protection for the fascinating world left frozen in time beneath it. Less than half the size of Pompeii, Herculaneum was a small coastal city characterized by remarkably preserved wooden structures and vibrant frescoes. With an expert guide by your side, walk in the footsteps of the noble Romans who once called this lost city home. 

Visiting the two remarkable ancient cities of Pompei and Herculaneum, gain a vast understanding of the complex world that once thrived along the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Upon conclusion of your tour, a short transfer will bring you back to the Naples train station.
