ERCOLANO
On August 24, 79 AD. the volcano Vesuvius caused a devastating eruption: this completely destroyed the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum which were submerged by the ashes. To date, although excavations always bring new discoveries, these are considered some of the best-known archaeological sites on our planet due to the characteristics that represent them. With our tour, visiting Herculaneum will be a precious experience, aimed at learning about the houses built in the ancient Roman period and which were brought to light thanks to the excavations begun in the 18th century, such as the house of the Deer and the house of Neptune's mosaics and Amphitrite, or the most sought-after places such as the Forum baths or the basilica.
The activity lasts an hour and a half, time available to visit the entire site, as the archaeological area of Herculaneum is smaller than that of Pompeii but still valuable. In the morning the pickup will be made from the city of Naples and the tour will be available in 3 different languages (English, Spanish, Italian). During the route there will be a professional guide to delve into not only the places but also the main habits of the inhabitants of the time, such as the fabrics used, the furniture and the organic substances that were preserved despite the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius. With the supplier there is also the possibility of organizing the best meeting point to begin the experience, discovering what was known as a tourist destination in the Roman period.
