Info Tour

Your Herculaneum & Pompeii Experience begins with a comfortable departure from Sorrento. Our first stop is Pompeii, the vast city immortalized by volcanic ash. Here, you will enjoy a 2-hour guided visit through the main public monuments, the Forum, and the remarkably preserved private houses, learning how a vibrant Roman municipality lived its daily life.

After a break for a light lunch (optional or at a local vineyard), the tour continues to Herculaneum. While Pompeii is famous for its size, Herculaneum is renowned for its perfect state of preservation. Thanks to the different volcanic materials that covered it, you can still admire carbonized wooden structures, two-story houses, and incredibly vibrant frescoes.

An expert authorized guide will lead you through a second 2-hour guided visit, showing you the thermal baths, ancient shops, and the gymnasium. Comparing these two sites is a unique opportunity: you will see the monumental scale of Pompeii and the intimate, domestic details of Herculaneum. By the end of the day, you will return to Sorrento with a deep understanding of the Roman world, all handled with a seamless, semi-private transport service.
