Overview of your Naples tour:

Do not consider this tour just a move, it will be an extraordinary experience that will touch you deeply, an experience we will live together walking through the streets and into the houses of people that a tragic fate wiped out in a few hours. I'm a very enthusiastic person and proud of my country that's why my unwavering commitment to the visitors allows me to offer a unique bespoken tour. During the visit, like a time machine, we will step back about 2000 years and dive into the lives of its inhabitants and their stories. Lesser-known than Pompeii, Herculaneum is the second most important Roman town and still preserves the charm of ancient times. Destroyed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A. D. 79 the town of Herculaneum was the summer retreat of Roman Patricians that built and decorated their huge Villas with frescoes and mosaics that you can still see on the spot. I welcome you to this impressive Roman town.
