What To Expect

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product:

Stop At: Parco Acheologico di Ercolano, Corso Resina, 187, 80056 Ercolano Italy

Smaller than Pompeii but in better condition due to protection from a mudslide, Herculaneum was stumbled upon randomly during the excavation of a well in 1709 which uncovered marbles and statues that adorned its ancient city. Thanks to the importance of the pieces found there such as mosaics, paintings, internal and external environments; excavations at Herculaneum are some of the most prestigious monumental complexes of classical antiquity. You'll explore these treasures on an unforgettable guided tour.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Vesuvius National Park, Via Palazzo del Principe, 80044 Ottaviano Italy

Vesuvius is continental Europe's only active volcano and responsible for some of its largest volcanic eruptions. Despite having posed a threat in the past, it remains one of Neapolitan history and culture's cardinal symbols. As you ascend to its summit you will come across works made entirely from volcanic material created by artists from all over the world before finally reaching its highest point where you can take in one of Naples' Gulf most extraordinary views whilst learning about what locals call 'the Good Giant'.
