Pompeii ruins in comfort on this private excursion from Rome.
After
leaving Rome and driving along the Highway of the Sun, you will cross
the picturesque countryside of Lazio and Campania as we head to Pompeii. Along
the way, you will pass Montecassino Abbey, famous for its important battles
during World War II. Proceeding along the Bay of Naples, with the ominous
figure of Mount Vesuvius to the east, you will get spectacular views of the
Mediterranean and the islands.
Pompeii is
a place where time has stood still since 79 AD. When Mt. Vesuvius erupted, the
Roman city was buried in ash and lava, perfectly preserving it until
excavations began in the 18th century. At the ruins, you will learn about the
plaster casts of victims, walk the ancient streets, and see public baths,
temples, markets, and forums. Many houses still contain original marble
decoration, frescoes, and mosaics.
We build
the day with realistic driving times and flexible stops, ensuring a smooth
experience and a comfortable return to your accommodation in Rome.
