Chill With Some Champagne on Private Custom Tour to Campania

On the foot of Mount Vesuvius, lies the preserved ruined city of Pompeii that was encased in ash and pumice stone after the famous mountain's volcano erupted in 79AD. Excavations started in the abandoned city in the 18th century and to date, almost three-fifths of the city is uncovered.

The city had three kilometres of magnificent city walls, so there is a lot more of the city to be uncovered, the work is especially hard and very tedious as the archaeologists and workers want to respect the area. In the early stages of excavation, any artefact that was discovered went directly to the museum in Naples, but since 1911, the archaeologists leave all artefacts in the place they are found as Pompeii is now a museum and a very popular private custom tour for visitors to Italy.
