As you leave Rome driving South along the Highway of the Sun, you will cross the regions of Lazio and Campania before you reach Pompeii. Ironically, one of the ancient world's worst disasters generated one of the most amazing archaeological sites ever. In Pompeii you will experience life as it was in the 1st century AD. In fact, with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD the city was buried 20 feet below ashes and lava until excavations began in the 18th century.
Once on site you will have 2 hours to tour on foot, gaining an insight into the lives of ancient Romans as you stroll past baths, heaters, temples, markets and forums. The pathways are endless and the buildings fascinating. Some of the recovered houses still contain the original marble decoration, well preserved frescoes and splendid mosaics making this a unique archaeological site.
On request, we can hire a licensed guide in Pompeii, for a 2-hour walking tour at an additional cost of 120.00 euro.
Admission fee for the archaeological site costs 11.00 euro per person and it is not included.
