Tras un corto trayecto en coche, llegarás hasta las estribaciones del monte Vesubio y las ruinas de Pompeya, la antigua ciudad preservada por la erupción volcánica. Pasea por las calles adoquinadas hasta el Foro, centro neurálgico de la vida romana de antaño. Recorre los antiguos caminos hasta encontrar impresionantes villas y espacios grandiosos, como la Casa del Fauno, con sus detallados mosaicos. Siéntate en las gradas del teatro y observa las colosales columnas de la basílica. También visitarás otras zonas de la vida cotidiana, como las termas y las tabernas.
Además, verás por fuera la opulenta Casa della Regina Carolina, una de las villas más grandes de la ciudad antigua, situada en un barrio de la élite, cerca del Foro. Entérate de las investigaciones en curso iniciadas por la exploradora de National Geographic, Caitlin Ellis Barret, mientras descubres más sobre la villa y las actividades domésticas cotidianas de sus adinerados habitantes.
Después de una comida ligera, seguirás el viaje hasta el puerto de Torre Annunziata, donde descenderás por debajo del nivel de la calle hasta la antigua Oplontis. Esta zona, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, cuenta con algunas de las pinturas murales mejor conservadas de la época romana.
Un guía arqueólogo te dará el contexto histórico, cultural y arquitectónico mientras contemplas las maravillas de Oplontis. La élite romana vivía aquí, con sus frescos y mosaicos de estilo pompeyano, de acabados en azules profundos, naranjas y dorados. El intrincado uso del color y el sombreado confiere a estas pinturas un aspecto tridimensional que añade realismo a estas antiguas escenas.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Roman Life Uncovered - Villas of Oplontis & Pompeii
Begin with a short drive to the foothills of Mt. Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient city preserved by volcanic eruption. Wander down cobblestone streets to the Forum, once the hub of Roman life. Follow ancient paths to impressive villas and grand spaces like the House of the Faun with its rich mosaics.

After a light lunch, continue your journey to the port of Torre Annunziata, where you'll descend below street level to ancient Oplontis. As a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area and its two sprawling villas boast some of the best-preserved wall paintings of the Roman period. Your archeologist guide will offer historical, cultural and architectural context as you take in Oplontis' wonders. Once inhabited by the Roman elite, marvel at Pompeiian-style frescoes and mosaics, finished with deep azures, oranges, and sunny golds.

Guided evening tour of Amalfi and Cetara’s signature sights with transfers
Keen to visit some of the most popular spots around the Amalfi Coast without having to deal with huge crowds? Look no further. This evening guided tour to the town of Amalfi and the out-of-the-way village of Catera has been specifically designed to dodge the tourists, giving you a more relaxed look at some of the area's main attractions. Matteo, one of our expert local guides, says “you won't miss out on any of the detail during the tour. You'll get an up-close look at lots of different landmarks, just without having to jostle shoulders or stand on your tiptoes to get a good view.”This tour kicks off with a scenic drive along the coast to the town of Amalfi. The seafront roads in this part of Italy are often considered some of the prettiest in the world, so keep your camera pointed out the window during this bit. When you arrive in Amalfi, you'll follow your guide around the preserved Arsenele della Repubblica. This 1,000-year-old shipyard was originally used to fix galleons and other kinds of boats, but today it's one of the town's top museums. When you're done wandering around its exhibits, you'll have some free time to explore the town on your own.When you're finished in Amalfi, you'll hop on a ferry for a 40-minute journey to the village of Cetara. Very few tours in this part of Italy stop here, so you'll be one of the few who'll get to see its pastel-painted houses and Roman-era landmarks up close. Plus, given the time of evening you'll visit, you can expect a super-relaxed atmosphere, courtesy of the pretty light levels at sunset. You'll have some free time to explore or relax on the sandy beach. The village is particularly famous for its seafood, especially anchovy sauce – ancient Romans settlers came up with the recipe. You'll want to dip into one of the restaurants and try some before hopping on the coach back to your accommodation.
