Why should you choose this tour ?

Situated at the foot of the imposing Mount Vesuvius, lie the ancient archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which have significantly contributed to modern historians’ understanding of Roman civilization.
This guided tour offers a truly unparalleled experience, as there are few places in the world where one can explore Roman towns preserved with such remarkable integrity like Pompeii and Herculaneum. Additionally, the tour includes access to a museum that houses an extraordinary collection of artifacts, including everyday objects, statues, and various works of art uncovered at these historic places.
The National Archaeological Museum of Naples holds global renown not only for its impressive collection of grand statues and invaluable artistic masterpieces but also for being the only institution to preserve thousands of items that provide insight into daily Roman life. From combs, keys, and window panes to pots, colanders, spoons, knives, mirrors, and even surgical and musical instruments, the museum’s array of artifacts is amazing. Exploring this unique repository of history alongside the ancient cities where such items were unearthed is an experience that will remain etched in memory.
