Rome Today we're headed to another richly historical and cultural city, known for its naturally beautiful sights and excellent cuisine. Pompeii Here in the ancient city of Pompeii, you'll have the option to partake in a guided walking tour of the fascinating Roman town that was destroyed by Vesuvius (and then perfectly preserved in volcanic ash!).
