Overview

This is a walking Tour to visit on the same day two very important archaeological sites: Pompeii and Herculaneum ruins. Both these sites are linked to their tragic destiny due to the 79 AD eruption of Mt Vesuvius, a volcano that still stands majestically close to the two cities

This is a walking tour (NO transportation is included) and the transfer between the two archaeological sites will take place by EAV Circumvesuviana railway trains (the trip between Pompeii and Herculaneum takes about 15-20 minutes). Skip the line included in the ruins of Pompeii only. (Entrance tickets and train tickets are NOT included).

You’ll meet our professional English-speaking REAL Archaeologist by a pre-arranged meeting point by main entrance of Pompeii site (Porta Marina Superiore). Of course this tour can be customized to your needs and requests and, if you prefer, we can start it from Herculaneum instead of Pompeii. You’ll spend 2 hours in each site (+ transfer time by train from a spot to another)

What to expect

  1. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    This private guided tour in Pompeii with an archaeologist at your complete disposal lasts 2 hours. Generally, your archaeologist will follow a "classic" itinerary with you in order to maximize the number of monuments you can visit in two hours. But the itinerary can also be decided together with our expert: flexibility is maximum but it is advisable that you let us know your preferences in advance.
  2. Archeological Park of Herculaneum
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Although Herculaneum is much smaller than Pompeii, it is better preserved. In fact, Herculaneum, unlike Pompeii, was completely buried under 20 meters of mud that preserved incredibly well the most part of the buildings, furnishings, wooden objects, mosaic floors, etc.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting with the English-speaking ARCHAEOLOGIST by "Bar Sgambati". BAR SGAMBATI is located just outside the "Pompei Scavi Villa Dei Misteri" train station, so it is very easy if you arrive in Pompeii by CIRCUMVESUVIANA train from Sorrento.

End point

After Pompeii Ruins Guided Tour (duration 2 hours) , the group together with the guide will reach Herculaneum ruins by local Circumvesuviana train (train tickets are NOT included). After the Herculaneum Ruins Guided Tour (duration 2 hours) this Tour will end in Herculaneum ruins.
