Destroyed and buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city of Pompeii remains one of the most visited archaeological sites in the world. Marvellously preserved by the ash that covered it, the city is the ideal place for tourists to observe what life was like in an ancient Roman town.
Choose between a morning or afternoon tour and travel in the comfort of an air-conditioned bus as you make your way from Naples to Pompeii. Enjoy an eye-opening and educational walk through the city and get a glimpse of early Roman life that has been revealed through years of archaeological excavation. Enter an active archaeological site for an even closer look at early Roman civilisation. Thousands of tonnes of hardened ash sealed off the city from air and moisture, preserving its structures and artefacts for centuries.
