City buried by a volcano.  
     Stopped in its tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in a.d. 79, Pompeii offers the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like 2,000 years ago. An entire city of well-preserved ruins is yours to explore. Imagine the streets lined with stalls and jammed with customers from sunup to sundown, as chariots vied with shoppers for street space. On this three-hour tour, you'll start at the Porta Marina and continue along Pompeii's streets exploring typical homes and businesses; the Forum, basilica, public baths, brothels, ampitheater and more. Don't forget to download the handy PDF companion map.

Ruins of ancient port town.  
     For an exciting day trip, pop down to the Roman port of Ostia Antica. Founded in the fourth century B.C., Ostia served as a naval base and key administrative and warehousing center for Rome. Eventually abandoned and buried in mud, Ostia is similar to Pompeii but in some ways more interesting. Because Ostia was a working port town, it shows a more complete and gritty look at Roman life than wealthier Pompeii. On this two-hour tour, you'll see the warehouses, apartment flats, mansions, shopping arcades, and baths that served a once-thriving port of 60,000 people. Don't forget to download the handy PDF companion map. 
     Sightseeing nitty gritty: Cost: €6.50 for the site and museum. Hours: Tue–Sun April–Oct 8:30–19:00, Nov–Feb 8:30–16:00, March 8:30–18:00, last entry one hour before closing, closed Mon. The museum closes from 13:30 to 14:15 for lunch.
