Pompeii, Herculaneum and Oplonti Private Day Tour from Rome

Overview

This jewel near Naples, in Campania, which lets you travel back in time, has long held the record as the most visited place in the world. Thanks to the site’s perfect state of preservation, we know in detail what life was like in Pompeii and Herculaneum before the destruction caused by the eruption of Vesuvius. The archaeological area of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Oplonti is among the 58 Italian UNESCO sites on the World Heritage List. It never ceases to amaze, giving you the opportunity to explore the extent of the commercial city of Pompeii, the fewer but better-preserved remains of the ancient town of Herculaneum, and the frescoes of the Villa Oplontis in Torre Annunziata, which portray the opulent lifestyle of the wealthy classes at the beginning of the Roman Empire. Despite the earthquake in 62 AD, most of the public buildings, baths, theatres, and shops have been reconstructed, but most notable of all are the Roman villas, a popular holiday destination.
