Discover valuable insights into the life of Roman citizens, and explore the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum as they were nearly two millennia ago. Roam the ruins with an archaeologist as your guide and see history like you never have before.
Choosing to establish a city near an active volcano can have unforeseen consequences, as evidenced by Pompeii. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE obliterated the community and its residents. Paradoxically, the intense heat of the volcanic ash also impeccably conserved the area, offering what is now arguably the most extraordinary archaeological site in existence.
Today, millennia later, you have the opportunity to explore a preserved snapshot of ancient Roman existence, accompanied by an expert guide.
When Vesuvius catastrophically erupted two millennia ago, it unleashed energy equivalent to 100,000 times that of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki atomic explosions. Pompeii was tragically overwhelmed.
Preserved for approximately two thousand years, Pompeii stands as a testament to ancient wonders. Experience this distinctive UNESCO World Heritage Site on a guided expedition, tracing the steps of Italy's ancient inhabitants.
Spanning an archaeological expansion of 50 hectares, you will navigate through the remnants of dwellings, water features, sculptures, wall paintings, and a notably grand amphitheater, all under the watchful presence of Mount Vesuvius.
