Pompeii: Guided Tour

Building a city right beside an active volcano doesn't always work out the way you want - just ask Pompeii. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E., it decimated the settlement and its inhabitants. Ironically, its superheated volcanic ash also preserved the site perfectly, leaving behind perhaps the world's most remarkable archaeological site. Now, thousands of years later, you can wander around a time capsule of ancient Roman life with a professional guide.
