Highlights

Enjoy a Private Tour and Travel Back in Time to the Roman Age!

Embark on an unforgettable journey through history, starting directly from the gangway of your cruise ship. With a private driver at your disposal for the day, you will explore some of the most fascinating archaeological sites of the ancient Roman world, including Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the legendary Mt. Vesuvius.

Full Description

Pompeii: Your adventure begins with a visit to Pompeii, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. The violent eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. buried the city under a thick layer of ash and rocks, freezing it in time. Walk through the remarkably preserved streets of this ancient Roman town and discover houses, temples, and amphitheaters, all offering a captivating glimpse into daily life during Roman times.

Herculaneum: Next, you will visit Herculaneum, another town that met a similar fate but was covered by a deep layer of mud that hardened over time. This unique preservation method has kept buildings, shops, villas, and even frescoes in almost pristine condition. As you explore, you’ll see everyday items such as price lists, wooden doors, beds, fruit, and small jewelry—witnessing life as it was more than two millennia ago.

Mt. Vesuvius: Your final stop is the mighty Mt. Vesuvius itself. The short, somewhat strenuous hike to the summit will reward you with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples. From the crater, you can take in the vast landscape and gain a deeper understanding of the power of the eruption that preserved these ancient towns.
This private tour offers an extraordinary opportunity to step back in time and experience the grandeur of the Roman world, all while enjoying stunning views and fascinating historical insights.
