Step back in time with an unforgettable full-day journey through the Roman Empire. Departing from the beautiful town of Sorrento, this comprehensive tour takes you to the two most significant archaeological sites in Italy: Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive along the breathtaking Sorrento Coast, offering stunning panoramas of the Bay of Naples. Upon arrival at Pompeii, you will meet your licensed local guide for a deep-dive 2-hour exploration. Walk through the ancient streets, visit the bustling Forum, and step inside remarkably preserved Roman homes. Discover how the citizens of this vibrant city lived before the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
After soaking in the history of Pompeii, take a well-deserved break at a local restaurant. Indulge in a traditional Neapolitan lunch, savoring the authentic flavors of the region before heading to the second stop of the day: Herculaneum.
Smaller, more intimate, and incredibly well-preserved, Herculaneum offers a different perspective on ancient life. During your 2-hour guided visit, you will witness intricate frescoes, ancient thermal baths, and shops that seem frozen in time. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried in a way that preserved wood and organic materials, offering a rare glimpse into the daily habits of the Roman elite.
This 8-hour excursion is designed for history enthusiasts and travelers alike who want a stress-free, immersive experience. We handle all logistics, including entrance fees and transportation, allowing you to focus entirely on the awe-inspiring history surrounding you. As we return to Sorrento in the late afternoon, you will have plenty of time to reflect on the architectural marvels and human stories you encountered throughout this epic day.
