6–8 hours.
Moderate fitness: able to walk 3–5 miles on uneven, sometimes sloping stone surfaces with short periods of standing.

Yes—entry to both Pompeii and Herculaneum is included in the excursion price as stated in the inclusions.
The operator advises leaving large suitcases at a luggage deposit in town or at the station since minivans may lack a luggage compartment; small backpacks are fine.
Both towns were destroyed in 79 AD by Mount Vesuvius; Pompeii was buried by ash and pumice while Herculaneum was sealed by denser pyroclastic flows that preserved organic materials.
Ongoing conservation balances visitor access with fragile remains—follow site rules, avoid touching frescoes, and stay on designated paths to limit erosion and wear.
