“Victor’s house” is well connected to the ruins of Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum. We highly advise that our guests visit Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii or Vesuvius and the ruins of Herculaneum on a one-day tour.
“Victor’s House” organises excursions to Pompeii and Vesuvius by private bus. A professional guide will accompany you to visit the ruins of Pompeii, the city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
It has remained virtually intact, which is a testimony to the life of the commercial city of ancient Rome with its spectacular Amphitheatre, the Thermal Baths, the Forum, the Frescoes and Mosaics. After the visit there is some free time for a snack then it is off to the Vesuvius where, with a minivan, you will reach a height of 1000 meters, then continue on foot along a path to reach the summit of the volcano, for an impressive view of the crater with a specialised guide. Vesuvius is unique in the fact that it is the only volcano where you can walk around the crater.
A visit to Vesuvius can be combined with a visit to the ruins of Herculaneum, a residential place for the Roman aristocracy. Found later than Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under a blanket of ash, lava and mud during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. It was discovered by chance following the excavations for the construction of a well in 1709. During excavations, remains of the Theatre, the ancient sewer in addition to several houses were found at the archaeological site. Inside the Villa “dei Papiri”, bronze and marble statues and a collection of more than 1700 papyri were unearthed. The city was surrounded by walls and outside of the walls are the Suburban Thermal Baths.
