Highlights
  • Pompeii Archaeological Park - The spectral ruins of ancient Pompeii lead to one of the world’s most engrossing archaeological experiences. Much of the site’s value lies in the fact that the town wasn’t simply blown away by Vesuvius in AD 79 but buried under a layer of lapilli (burning fragments of pumice stone). The result is a remarkably well-preserved slice of ancient life, where visitors can walk down Roman streets and pry around millennial old houses, temples, shops, cafes and amphitheatres. With a private and historian guide, you will be able to visit what is considered to be Europe’s most important archaeological site.

Additional Information

In the year 62 A.D., the region around Vesuvius was jolted by a severe earthquake. A subsequent eruption from Vesuvius, on the 24th of August, 79 A.D., blanketed the city of Pompeii with a thick layer of ash and stone debris known as lapillus. Though rediscovered in the 16th Century, systematic excavations in Pompeii only commenced in 1748 under Charles III of Bourbon, the King of Naples. A guide will bring alive the history of this ancient holiday hotspot. The journey continues onto Sorrento, a tranquil destination perched on a cliff above the water, offering breathtaking panoramas of the Bay of Naples. This is one of Italy’s most visited tourist spots. Sorrento attracts with its diverse range of holiday experiences, from rural strolls among lemon and olive orchards to a plethora of land and sea expeditions.
