Why take this tour?

After hotel pick up, drive to Naples to meet your guide. Head to Pompeii to explore the excavated city in its entirety and sneak in and observe the lives of the inhabitants in the days just before the catastrophe. See various temples and have a glimpse into what life was like before the famous eruption of Vesuvius, and stop to discover the forum and basilica of Pompeii. The second part of the tour will take place in the galleries of the Archeological Museum of Naples. Discover the frescoes, statues, handcrafts, and jewels that had remained for centuries under the lava, brought to light during the excavations. Uncover a dozen perfectly preserved mosaics and restore to the deserted spaces you have visited in Pompeii. Finish your tour with a visit to the Secret Cabinet, which contains all the objects with an erotic subject matter, often decisively unhindered with explicit representations of truly acrobatic love. Considered scandalous and hidden away after discovery, the objects are now available to be viewed.
