If you are a history lover, you cannot miss a full day excursion to discover the archaeological cities of Pompeii & Herculaneum escorted by a comfortable and air conditioned bus. Your expert guide will show you the sights.Following the eruption of the volcano, Mount Vesuvius, in the year 79 CE, Pompeii had laid buried and forgotten for hundreds of years. Your guide will take you slowly through some of the ancient streets of Pompeii where you can see the baths, forums and villas built by the prosperous Romans in the year 80 BCE.
After going through Pompeii there will be time for lunch. Followed by the visit to Herculaneum, which was submerged under a torrent of mud and lava that hardened into a soft tufa (a kind of coarse rock) that preserved many of the wooden parts of houses and household objects which can be seen today. A large part of the town is still buried and many treasures wait to be discovered.
Come spend an amazing day discovering the remnants of the prosperous world of the Ancient Romans. After the tour, you will be returned to Sorrento.
