POMPEII & HERCULANEUM FROM ROME

Rome - Naples - Rome by bullet train
Guided tour of Herculaneum
Guided tour of Pompeii

 More and more travellers are visiting Pompeii ruins. Indeed, touring Pompeii has been the #1 day trip from Rome since 2021.

 How many of these travellers see Herculaneum before or after Pompeii? The vast majority don't, so we have created this double-header excursion from Rome that takes in the two most important archaeological sites in Italy, if not the world.

 Pompeii is the "destroyed city", Herculaneum the "preserved city", ergo you'll see frescoes and mosaics in Herculaneum that are vastly superior to those that adorn the houses and villas of Pompeii.

 Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii, so it's possible to get a clear picture of its story in a couple of hours.

 Travellers are known to return to Pompeii, to further explore the expanse of ruins in search of undiscovered secrets and untold stories.

 On Pompeii & Herculaneum: Two Tours, you get two fast bullet trains Rome - Naples - Rome, two guided tours with working archaeologists, and first entrance tickets to each site. You will depart from Rome early, near 7am, so set the alarm clock the night before!

 Your guided tour of Herculaneum in the morning is followed by a guided Pompeii tour in the afternoon.
