FULL DAY - Are you passionate about history and archaeology? You have to choose this tour!
In one day you will be fascinated by the beauty of the most ancient buried cities of our area: Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata.
The Tour will take place in the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and in the villa Oplonti, destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The vast extension of the commercial city of Pompeii contrasts with the better preserved remains of Herculaneum, while the splendid frescoes of Villa Oplontis in Torre Annunziata give a vivid representation of the lifestyle enjoyed by the wealthiest classes at the beginning of the Roman Empire.
You will jump back in time, during the Roman era.
To the tour of the ruins you could add a lunch with wine tasting in a beautiful restaurant overlooking Vesuvius.
The wine of Vesuvius is one of the peculiarities of our area, we recommend you to taste it.
You will probably need to add extra hours if you add lunch, as it will take more than 8h, that you will pay separately, but we will decide this together. (THE TASTING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE)
The tour will have a total duration of 8h, including trips.
We always recommend taking the ruins tour with an expert guide, private only for you, which will last 2h in each attraction. The guide will explain everything you see and tell you all the history of Pompeii, Oplontis and Herculaneum.
Relax aboard a Mercedes sedan or minivan with air conditioning, wifi and bottle of water on board.
Our drivers will speak in English, will be professional and very helpful, know the territories you will visit and will be able to give you good advice.

- Tip
The city 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 permanently.
For archaeological excavations of Oplonti we mean a series of archaeological finds belonging to the suburban area of Pompeii, buried together with Pompeii and Herculaneum after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79: Today the archaeological area is located in the center of the modern city of Torre Annunziata and includes a villa d'otium called «of Poppea» and a rustic villa «of Lucius Crassius Tertius».
The Roman city of Herculaneum, destroyed and buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, was reported to the chronicles of history in the eighteenth century thanks to the Bourbon explorations.
Much of the ancient Herculaneum is still buried underground, therefore hides all the sacred and civil buildings with their precious furnishings.
If you like the idea of tasting, we’ll make the second stop for lunch.
We usually recommend to our customers a beautiful restaurant not far from Pompeii, overlooking Mount Vesuvius, has very large gardens and vineyards, a riding stable and a swimming pool.
For adults, together with lunch you can do a tasting of wines and typical products of Vesuvius. If you have children, there will be a lunch suitable for them.
Included in the price everyone can take a guided tour of the cellars and vineyards.
If you’re interested in lunch, I’ll book a table for you, but you’ll pay directly at the restaurant.
