Once in Naples, take the chance to visit Pompeii, the best preserved Roman city of the entire Europe! A professional driver will take you in the tourist site and provide some curiosities and useful tips about the city!A professional driver will guide you during an amazing daily round trip tour of Pompeii and its vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region. The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the zone of Pompei Scavi.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Pompei, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried in meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 C.E.
Unlike Rome, where ancient monuments have suffered millennia of weathering, re-use and pillaging, Pompei has remained intact until the present day, not only as far as its buildings are concerned, but also as regards the contents inside the houses and shops, providing an absolutely fascinating picture of "daily" life.
The walls of the houses are covered with electoral propaganda messages or risque jokes aimed at particular citizens. The signs on the shop doorways indicate the activity carried out there or the name of the owner. Alongside the elegant villas belonging to the nobility and the luxurious residences of the middle class, stand modest houses where several families lived.
The picture of this amazing Italian treasure is still being completed: emergency digs during roadworks on the Naples–Salerno motorway have revealed the full extent of a frescoed leisure complex close to the Sarno river.
Near the coast of the Bay of Naples, the site features excavated ruins that visitors can freely explore.
The tour lasts approximately 6 hours.
