LivTours’ semi-private tour of Pompeii is the perfect way to explore this expansive UNESCO World Heritage Site. Exclusively discover the fascinating history of this Ancient Roman province that was destroyed by the eruption of nearby Mt Vesuvius.
Pompeii is one of Italy’s most well preserved archaeological sites, and was once one of the most important trade cities. It was completely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which quickly buried the city under over 6 meters of ash. Pompeii was not re-discovered again until 1599. The site is still an active excavation area, with plenty left to uncover. Discover the story behind this ancient port town and the modern-day excavations which are helping to bring it back to life today.
