This tour consists of a marvelous walk in the company of a competent archaeologist and professional guide through the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, buried by the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Relax in comfortable transportation in a private minivan.
A visit to Herculaneum offers a unique experience; although smaller than Pompeii, it is much better preserved. Buried under 20 meters of mud, it still retains second stories, carbonized wooden objects, intact paintings, and mosaics. With our guide's detailed explanations, the city will come to life before your eyes.
Pompeii, on the other hand, provides a more extensive exploration. Walking through its streets, you will feel as though the town is still alive. Your guide will share the fascinating history of the city and illustrate how the Romans lived, leading you to the most significant public buildings and private houses.

The house receives its name from marble statues of stags/deer found in the peristyle.
M. Nonius Balbus was the city's major benefactor restoring and building many public buildings. On his death he was made patron and feted with many honours, detailed in the long inscription on his funeral altar.
It is thought that the building was a centre of the cult of the Emperor Augustus and the headquarters of the Collegium Augustalium (or possibly even the local curia).
The Central Thermae were built around the beginning of the 1st century AD and were divided, as was then the common practice, into men's and women's baths, each with their own separate entrances.
The house possibly belonged to one of the town's leading benefactors, Marcus Nonius Balbus and is somewhat unusual in that it has its own private access to the adjoining Suburban Thermae to the south.
The House of the Skeleton probably the aggregation of three smaller buildings, derives its name from the discovery of human remains in a second floor room in 1831.
The House of the Black Hall is one of Herculaneum's more luxurious mansions.
The house has a monumental entrance which still retains the carbonised remains of the doorposts and lintel.
It is very important house for the elegant wooden partition remained.
The house has an arrangement that was typical of the Samnites (an ancient people of the Sabine race who occupied this mountainous part of central Italy). The splendid atrium is skirted by a gallery with Ionic columns. The rooms are decorated with frescoes.
This is one of the most original houses in Herculaneum. It has a courtyard with a stairway and a stone balcony instead of an atrium.
Beautiful domus in the Centre of the archaeological area, with various environments, collonnati, frescos e-com everywhere at Herculaneum-charred remains of wooden parts.
