Stop 2
Pompeii is one of the most significant pieces of evidence of Roman civilization and provides exceptional information on the art, customs, crafts and daily life of the past.
The city has re-emerged after centuries just as it would have been when it was buried in the layer of ash and lava from the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. In what had been one of the most active and splendid centers of Rome, life stopped definitively. You will have 2 hours free to visit the ruins of Pompeii. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour)
- Between one attraction and another, the customer can decide to add a lunch and a wine tasting, typical of Vesuvius, with a visit to the vineyards, or a tasting of buffalo mozzarella products, on a farm. - You will probably need to add extra hours if you add lunch since it will take more than 8 hours, but we will decide this together.
