Arrive at Pompeii, where you'll meet your private guide, an expert in archaeology and history, ready to tailor the tour to your interests. Pompeii offers an unparalleled glimpse into ancient Roman life, frozen in time by the volcanic ash. Highlights include the Forum, the Baths, the Lupanar (brothel), the House of the Vettii, the House of the Faun, and the Amphitheatre. Your guide will bring the history of these places to life, telling stories of the people who lived and died in Pompeii.

After exploring Pompeii, we will take a break for lunch. A short drive brings you to Herculaneum, a wealthier town than Pompeii and better preserved due to the different volcanic materials that covered it. In Herculaneum, you'll notice the striking preservation of wooden structures, fabrics, and even food, offering a different perspective on ancient life. Key sites include the House of the Mosaic Atrium, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, and the incredibly preserved thermal baths. Your guide will explain the significance of the frescoes and mosaics, the advanced water system, and the social and economic structure of the town, providing a comprehensive understanding of this ancient society.

As the day winds down, you'll head back to your vehicle for the return journey. This is a great time to reflect on the day's experiences and ask your guide any remaining questions.
