Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets

When the fury of Vesuvius buried Pompeii and Herculaneum during the eruption of 79 AD, the two cities were in full splendor. Pompeii was a chaotic port town with a bustle of people from all over the place; Herculaneum a sumptuous Summer resort. I am a professional tour guide with a devastating passion for Archaeology and History. So this is definitely my Tour! Far from the crowds, we will explore Pompeii and Herculaneum walking into the foot-steps of their ancient citizens: an unscrupulous merchant, a lazy patrician, a powerful matron, a slave or an invincible gladiator. You will learn about their everyday life but also political and love intrigues. We'll admire amazing frescoes and mosaics and enter ancient taverns, bath-houses and "stinky" latrines. I will also be your driver. During our break, I softly drive you to a family-run farm on the slopes of Vesuvius for an incredible culinary experience based on local wine and genuine food. Relax, flavors and views.
