Pompeii or Herculaneum: choose your focus

The description highlights Pompeii as an ancient city preserved by the eruption of 79, mentioning art, furniture, everyday objects and plaster casts of victims. For Herculaneum, it mentions mosaics, ancient notices and preserved houses.

These are separate choices within this excursion. If you want archaeological interpretation from a private licensed guide, check your option carefully: the Pompeii guided option specifies 2 hours in English and pickup at 7:30. The available information for the Herculaneum option also lists pickup at 7:30 and an English-speaking guide, but full details are missing.
