Om denne aktiviteten

Traces of the existence of this ancient roman city date back to the 6th century BC. At the time of the dramatic eruption, in 79 AD, Pompeii counted about 11.000 inhabitants and was considered of great importance for the Roman Empire. Several emperors and aristocrats had their holiday’s villas in that area, while merchants were running businesses with locals. This bustling place got buried under several meters of ashes in a matter of few hours. Centuries later, in 1748, Pompeii came back to light when the Bourbons were governing Naples. The discovery was greeted with enthusiasm as it added great wealth to the kingdom and inspired the neoclassicism movement in Europe. Nowadays, the ruins of Pompeii are amongst the most visited archaeological sites in the world.

Included in this tour there is a stop to a Cameos and Corals workshop, to learn more about this ancient art-craft, for which the Neapolitan school is still considered of great importance. Cameos in particular are carved sea shells representing scenes of mythological deities.

I really enjoyed this tour but when the travel time is double the tour time and not that far away, I would not recommend this option. I chose it for the convenience of being driven between Naples and Pompeii but the tour was 2 hours and travel time 4.5 hours, going through multiple rounds of collecting and depositing customers from various locations. To top it off, I had allowed 1.5 hour before my next tour thinking that was plenty but we got back 1.5 past the scheduled finish time. I saw the driver pass the turn for our hotel and take a long circuitous route to drop off other customers. Then he directed us to get out a block and a half from our hotel making us even later. Time is one of the most precious things you have on vacation - take the Campania Express on your own - only 30 minutes!

The guild was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She really brought the ruins of Pompeii to life!! The drive who picked my up from my hotel was also polite and was more then happy to point out the best places in Naples to me. 100 recommend if you want to take a short tour of this wonderful place.
