• Pompeii Archaeological Park - Begin the tour with a warm welcome from an expert guide who will lead you directly into the Pompeii excavations with skip-the-line access! The guide will take you on a journey through ancient road mapping, residential planning, and impressive sewage systems. As a significant commercial trade town, the guide will also show you the “shops” that lined the streets to attract traveling tradesmen. Walking through these excavation grounds is captivating, and you will hear stories worth exploring further once you return home. You will visit the Forum of Pompeii, the heart of the city where residents engaged in religious, economic, and commercial activities. You will pass the ancient basilica of the town, a preserved architectural prototype of the Christian basilica for future generations. One of the most intriguing walks in Pompeii is through residential neighborhoods, where you can hear tales of how the private residents of Pompeii lived and loved!
• Parco Archeologico di Ercolano - Just 5 miles southeast of Naples lies an ancient town known to archaeologists, locals, and history enthusiasts, a town whose richness and history rival that of Pompeii: Herculaneum. The guide will accompany you on a quick ride to this site to begin the second half of your adventure.
  Herculaneum is often noted as a “better preserved” Pompeii, as the volcanic material that covered it helped preserve not only the structures of homes and buildings but also more delicate materials such as wood and other natural substances. This is an archaeologist and tourist’s dream! You will see the very beds and even food remnants left from that fateful day. There is no closer look into history than a walk around Herculaneum. Depending on the day’s route, some attractions you will see in Herculaneum include the House of Galba, the Thermal Baths with stunning mosaic floors, the Samnite House, and much more.
