Description

Journey Through Time: Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Vesuvius – Excursions from Port

Step into a world where the past comes vividly to life. This exclusive tour offers a deep dive into one of history’s most compelling chapters, spanning Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the mighty Mount Vesuvius—three of Campania’s most renowned archaeological and natural wonders, each a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Begin your journey at Pompeii, the ancient Roman city frozen in time. Walk through timeworn gates to traverse old streets and marvel at preserved buildings, sculptures, paintings, and mosaics that reveal invaluable insights into antiquity.

Next, discover Herculaneum, another casualty of Vesuvius’ infamous eruption in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, this site offers unique glimpses into private homes and villas still boasting charred furniture and wooden architectural elements. Each relic tells a poignant story of life abruptly halted.

The climax of your adventure will be an ascent to the summit of Mount Vesuvius. Traverse the natural park enveloping this still-active volcano, a region replete with geological and ecological marvels. As you reach the crater’s edge, approximately 1,000 meters above sea level, prepare for a breathtaking panorama over the Gulf of Naples, an awe-inspiring finale to an unforgettable journey.

Certified Campania Region Tourist Guides are available upon request to enhance your experience.
