Overview

In 62 A.D. a violent earthquake struck the Vesuvius area. Seventeen years later, on August 24, 79 A.D., the sudden eruption of Vesuvius buried Pompeii with ashes and lapillus. The buried city was rediscovered in the 16th Century, but it was only in 1748 that the exploration phase began. Located under the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Naples is the most vibrant, steaming, bubbling reverberating city in Italy, in which each block is a small village and everything seems to be a backstage for an opera not yet composed. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is not merely one of the most remarkable collections of ancient exhibits in the world; its galleries house historical collections which can justly claim to be a cornerstone of Italian cultural history. These include the wealth of gems and sculptures inherited by the Bourbons from the Farnese collections; the treasures from Herculaneum and Pompeii, a unique heritage of frescoes, sculptures, ornaments and everyday objects.

What to expect

  1. Rome
    Pass by

  2. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
    2h · Admission ticket included
    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.

    “Vedi Napoli, e poi muori”. In other words, before you die, you must experience the beauty and magnificence of Naples. Although Naples was a major part of the 18th century Grand Tour, attracting tourists from across Europe, in recent years it has been overshadowed by cities such as Rome, Florence, and Venice. But Naples deserves to be seen at least once - ideally several times - before you die. Join our Naples tours and you’ll discover that this fascinating city is rich in art, history and food. From the breathtaking collection of Roman statues at the Archaeological Museum to the delicious pizza, here are some reasons to make Naples your next destination. The collection of this extraordinary museum is arguably one of the best not just in Italy, but in Europe. Here you’ll find gargantuan Roman statues such as the Farnese Bull, as well as some exquisite mosaics and frescoes from Pompeii and Herculaneum. For anyone interested in Roman art, it’s unmissable.
