DESCRIPTION
▼ MORE INFO
Pompeii Herculaneum and Vesuvius Tour from Sorrento starts in the morning with the meeting of your private driver at the lobby of your hotel in Sorrento.
From Sorrento your own private driver will take you in a tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum archeological sites and to Mount Vesuvius where you will have a spectacular view toward Naples and the bay.
In Pompeii experience at your own pace the visit of the site in a walking tour around the “scavi” of this important city destroyed and buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in the morning of the August 24th 79 A D.
The eruption covered Pompeii, an important roman town of approx 20.000 inhabitants, in 30 feet of volcanic ash and preserved it exactly how it was.
You will visit the excavations and the most important highlights like the Forum that was the centre of religious and economic life; the Casa del Fauno, one of the largest, and most impressive private residences in Pompeii; the Termopolium a sort of ancient inns where the foreigners arrived in Pompeii could eat and buy wine; the plaster body casts of the inhabitants of Pompeii victims of volcanic ash and gas; the Pompeii wall paintings and the frescoes.
Herculaneum is less famous than Pompeii and the ruins at Herculaneum are well preserved and much smaller than those at Pompeii, so it is very possible to walk through the entire excavation and see all the highlights.
Visit the Mount Vesuvius and once there you can climb the mount (about 30 minutes) and walking around the crater to enjoy of the panoramic view of the entire Bay of Naples.
Comfortable walking shoes are suggested.
