Amalfi Coast Private Tours: Historical and heritage tours
Travel back in time and get acquainted with the rich history of Herculaneum and Pompeii, the two most important archeological sites in Campania.
Discover how roman cities were like 2000 years ago and how ancient Romans lived.
Pompeii was one of the most important commercial ports in Roman times, situated at the mouth of the river Sarno, buried by the devastating force of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
The city was rediscovered by chance 16 centuries later and today is the most visited archaeological site in Italy
Herculaneum was the residential town along the Naples Bay that was buried by the torrential lava of Mount Vesuvius along with Pompeii. Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii but not less interesting, in fact here you will find the same kind of buildings of Pompeii with better preserved artistic elements (mosaics, frescoes, and original timber of the roofs).
To get there you can take one of our Pompeii Tours from Rome and from Naples or just directly from the Amalfi Coast which is also very close to the Vesuvio and to Pompeii
