From the pier, it's a 45-minute drive by motorcoach to the remarkable ruins of Pompeii--the world's finest example of an ancient Roman town, perfectly preserved since the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Your walking tour will touch on several highlights, and you'll notice as you walk that the chariot-wheel ruts made by the ancient Romans are still clearly visible in the cobblestones. Learn about the excavation techniques used here and gain an insight into the lives of the Romans as you discover baths, theatres, temples, markets and the huge forum.
Stop at a cameo factory where artisans apply skills handed down for generations, intricately carving seashells, or coral into beautiful jewelry - true works of art and keepsake souvenirs.
Please note: Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Backpacks and large bags are not allowed at the Pompeii excavations. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
