Naples & Pompeii Guided Group Tour

Leaving from Esquilino Square and crossing the city of Rome, the Autostrada del Sole (the major Italian highway) is taken. After passing the hillsides of the Castelli Romani, completely covered by vineyards, the area called Ciociaria is crossed with a view (from the Autostrada del Sole) of the Abbey of Montecassino, completely rebuilt after the 2nd World War. Arrival in Naples with a short tour of the city and then continue to Pompeii. Romans took control of Pompeii around 200 BC. On August 24, 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted, burying the nearby town of Pompeii in ash and soot, killing 20,000 people, and preserving the city in its state from that fateful day. Pompeii is an excavation (It: scavi) site and outdoor museum of the ancient Roman settlement.

This site is considered to be one of the few sites where an ancient city has been preserved in detail - everything from jars and tables to paintings and people was frozen in time, yielding, together with neighbouring Herculaneum which suffered the same fate, an unprecedented opportunity to see how the people lived two thousand years ago.

Short visit to a renowned workshop specialised in the manufacture of cameos. After lunch in a local restaurant, there will be the visit of the excavations of this famous Roman city which was completely destroyed by the eruption of the Volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Departure for Rome at approx 5:30 pm.

With Rome Museum you will discover the fantastic Roman cultural and artistic heritage.
