Pompeii and Herculaneum are two of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The two archaeological areas seem to be very similar but I will let you see that - by looking at them from several points of view - they are also pretty different each other. My long-standing work with the volcano guides made me get some expertise in volcanology as well, and that's why I will also show you that even the state of preservation of Pompeii and Herculaneum is different, despite they were affected by the same eruption. Plus, I'll talk about what would happen today if Mt. Vesuvius - that is a still active volcano - erupts again. At the end of the tour you'll have got a lot of knowledge about how different lifestyle could be in different ancient Roman cities and how destructive nature can be. I invite you to join me in this amazing journey full of stories and my knowledge. I love telling people stories that will make them feel like being in that time and space. . . Like travelling back in time, in this case
We meet where previously agreed for the pick up and drive to Pompeii. In Pompeii, we focus on the public life of the ancient Romans, because the public buildings are more numerous and better preserved than in Herculaneum. We go to see the theatres, the baths, the "red light district", the city centre and the famous "petrified bodies". After the tour of Pompeii we get in the car and drive to Herculaneum. You can decide to have lunch in Pompeii, Herculaneum or in a place on the way before the tour of Herculaneum. In Herculaneum, we can have a better and more intimate look at the private life of the ancient Romans. We see the skeletons of the victims and go to visit different private houses and shops. We spend approximately 2 hours per each archaeological site plus time for lunch if you want to have it between the two visits. At the end of the tour we drive to the place we previously agreed for the drop off.
