Pompeii and Vesuvius sightseeing Day Excursion from Rome

Pompeii and Vesuvius sightseeing Day Excursion from Rome

Private pickup and transfer from Hotel to Pompeii
Founded in the 7th Century B.C, Pompeii is of great interest for historians. It is said that while Rome gives an insight into the monumental architecture of the Romans, Pompeii illustrates their everyday life.
Pompeii had been a Roman colony since 80BC and prospered before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD and buried the whole city under several layers of molten lava and ash. Approximately two thousand inhabitants were suffocated by the acrid smoke of the eruption & participants will be able to view many of the survivors’ bodies frozen in the positions in which they died.
Free time for lunch or optional wine tasting light lunch in the Vesuvius (not included)
Afternoon drive up Vesuvius then walk up to the cone and have a look inside. Mount Vesuvius top can be reached with a short 20 minutes hike.
Returning to your hotel.
