Private tour of Herculaneum and Pompei ruins with lunch and wine tasting on Mount Vesuvius
The biggest difference between Pompeii and Herculaneum is their size: the ruins of Pompeii cover about 44 square hectares, while Herculaneum covers just 4. Pompeii was an important city and trade center, while Herculaneum was a small resort town. However, Herculaneum is in a much better state of preservation. If you can't choose should you visit Pompeii or Herculaneum we suggest you visit both sites in one day. Enjoy a local wine tasting and lunch. After driving up the volcano, walk along the crater to enjoy an amazing point of view of the bay of Naples.
