Journeying through Italy’s storied landscapes, Askos Tours offers an engaging day trip combining historical discovery with coastal scenery. Starting from Rome, travelers are chauffeured in comfort to the archaeological site of Herculaneum, a remarkably preserved ancient Roman town that was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
