See the Tower of Mercury, the only Roman defensive tower left and step inside the House of the Vettii, reopened after 27 years of restoration, showcasing the finest example of Pompeian red and intricately detailed frescoes.
After it, the tour goes to the House of the Silver Wedding before arriving at the Insula of the Chaste Lovers, a live excavation site where archaeologists and restorers are actively working — a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into history as it is uncovered.
Conclude your tour in a newly inaugurated area with modern amenities, carrying with you the memory of having walked the very path where Pompeii continues to reveal its secrets, even today.
