Begin the tour at the Naples pier at 08:00 and head directly in your private car to explore the archeological excavations of the fascinating city of Pompeii. Visit the well-preserved ruins of a classic Italian villa at the Villa of the Mysteries (Villa dei Misteri) and then continue to the striking 2nd-century House of the Faun (Casa del Fauno), one of the most luxurious aristocratic houses from the Roman republic, and a better reflection of this period than most archaeological evidence found even in Rome itself. Continue the tour with visits to the stunning ruins of the Porta Marina, the grand Piazza Anfiteatro, and the Villa of the Papyri. Wrap up the tour back in the center of Pompeii with some refreshments and shopping before returning to the ship for 13:00.
