Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvio

Pompeii-Herculaneum-and-VesuvioDuration: 9 hours

The private Shore Excursion to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvio leaves from the dock of your ship at 8:00am where you meet one of our English speaking driver-guide waiting for you holding a sign with your name on. You drive directly to Pompeii where we highly suggest to have a local licensed English speaking guide with you for a 2 hours private Tour of the excavations: the extra cost is Euro 100 total. This old Roman city was destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 AD leaving perfectly preserved baths, theatres, temples, markets and forums that bring you back into the lives of ancient Romans.

Next you continue to Herculaneum for another visit of the ruins, less known but even better preserved than Pompeii: the difference is that Herculaneum was buried by a river of volcanic mud, not the tufa stone and ash that rained on Pompeii. When the town was rediscovered in 1709, amateur excavations were carried out intermittently until 1874 and much of the material found was cleared away to Naples to decorate the houses of the wealthy or to end up in museums. Serious archaeological work begun in 1927 and excavations still carry on today. Following the tour continues with the visit of the volcano “Vesuvio”, responsible for the destruction of both Pompeii and Herculaneum. Your driver-guide will suggest you some local trattoria for lunch in the area, and after, you drive all the way up to the volcano to admire one of the most beautiful panoramas over Naples. The still active volcano dominates the landscape, looming ominously over Naples and its province. In the afternoon a nice drive back to the port right on time to re-board your ship.
