Ruins Of Pompeii

Take a guided walk through the ruins of the extraordinary city of Pompeii. Two-thirds of this ancient city, devastated by an eruption, has been excavated. Amidst the empty baths, theatres and villas are many echoes of daily life: wine jars waiting to be filled, stepping stones to help cross the street during heavy rains, and painstakingly created mosaic floors and brilliant frescoes. The plaster casts of the volcano's victims are especially poignant, a reminder of the catastrophic event that brought life here to an end. Your drive to and from Pompeii will reveal views of still-active Vesuvius.
