- Pompeii Archaeological Park - In the morning, depart with your driver to reach Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the most visited Roman site after the Colosseum in Rome. Meet your tour guide and discover that everything here is preserved, brought back to life after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Centuries of archaeological excavations have uncovered houses, shops, squares, brothels, and even entire human figures preserved by the lava from Vesuvius’ eruption. Marvel at Roman architecture in the stunning villas (the most famous being Villa dei Misteri) and public buildings such as the Forum, the Macellum (Market), and the amphitheater.
- Parco Archeologico di Ercolano - Next, visit Herculaneum, the city that, according to legend, was founded by Hercules. Although the houses here are smaller than those in Pompeii, they are no less fascinating. Herculaneum is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Additionally, you can ask the driver to make a stop at a local factory to observe the production process of Cameos and Corals, an ancient Roman art form.
