Tour of Pompeii: The Time Machine
Overview
Destroyed and buried by the Vesuvius eruption the Pompeii has conserved an ancient world. Its ruins are a time machine where if you switch the bottom, you can go back 2000 years. Doing that you will see where the romans lived their daily lives. The richly decorated houses and the sophisticated thermal baths will amaze you. Arriving at the city centre surrounded by marble decorations, columns and public building you will enjoy a beautiful Vesuvius landscape. Someone once said: “Pompeii is the most lively of dead towns”. It makes sense because when you will walk on its streets you will have the sensation that life is still going on. You’ll think that you can see people while they buy, sell, eat and drink at the shops. This town still conserves its lights and shades so you will see its sophistication, elegance and richness but at same time its dark and hot sides. Visiting this ancient and precious casket that is still partly unknown you will live an unforgettable experience.
