Dit kun je verwachten

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the sister cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were frozen in time. More than 1,600 years passed before they were rediscovered, and today they're undoubtedly two of the world's greatest archaeological sites. Andrea, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Pompeii and Herculaneum may have shared the same fate under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius, but they offer two distinct glimpses into ancient Roman life. While Pompeii was a bustling commercial centre, Herculaneum was a refined seaside retreat for the wealthy.'

Buried by volcanic debris, these UNESCO-listed sites offer a fascinating and at times haunting insight into ancient Roman life. First up, your guide will lead you through the streets of Pompeii and show you the richly decorated villas of the Roman upper classes as well as public spaces such as the Forum. See the remains of temples and villas and stroll along cobbled streets still rutted from Roman carts.

Then, after lunch, we'll head to the archaeological site of Herculaneum. Andrea says, ‘Walking through Pompeii is like stepping into a busy city of the past, with its grand public buildings and lively streets, while exploring Herculaneum feels like strolling through a luxurious private estate, with lavish villas and intricate mosaics, boat houses and marble floors.' Following your guide through the ancient town, you'll learn about the tragic demise of Herculaneum, destroyed by a fast-moving pyroclastic flow of hot gas and volcanic mud.

Guided evening tour of Amalfi and Cetara’s signature sights with transfers

Keen to visit some of the most popular spots around the Amalfi Coast without having to deal with huge crowds? Look no further. This evening guided tour to the town of Amalfi and the out-of-the-way village of Catera has been specifically designed to dodge the tourists, giving you a more relaxed look at some of the area's main attractions. Matteo, one of our expert local guides, says “you won't miss out on any of the detail during the tour. You'll get an up-close look at lots of different landmarks, just without having to jostle shoulders or stand on your tiptoes to get a good view.”This tour kicks off with a scenic drive along the coast to the town of Amalfi. The seafront roads in this part of Italy are often considered some of the prettiest in the world, so keep your camera pointed out the window during this bit. When you arrive in Amalfi, you'll follow your guide around the preserved Arsenele della Repubblica. This 1,000-year-old shipyard was originally used to fix galleons and other kinds of boats, but today it's one of the town's top museums. When you're done wandering around its exhibits, you'll have some free time to explore the town on your own.When you're finished in Amalfi, you'll hop on a ferry for a 40-minute journey to the village of Cetara. Very few tours in this part of Italy stop here, so you'll be one of the few who'll get to see its pastel-painted houses and Roman-era landmarks up close. Plus, given the time of evening you'll visit, you can expect a super-relaxed atmosphere, courtesy of the pretty light levels at sunset. You'll have some free time to explore or relax on the sandy beach. The village is particularly famous for its seafood, especially anchovy sauce – ancient Romans settlers came up with the recipe. You'll want to dip into one of the restaurants and try some before hopping on the coach back to your accommodation.
