Your day begins with a smooth ride from Naples to Pompeii. Step back nearly 2,000 years as your expert guide brings the ruins to life. Walk the cobblestone streets, discover ancient marketplaces, temples, and theaters, and get an extraordinary window into daily life at the height of the Roman Empire. After your archaeological journey, head up the fertile slopes of Mount Vesuvius to a beautiful local winery. Take a stroll through the vineyards to see how the unique volcanic soil shapes the grapes, then sit down for a delicious, traditional Italian lunch paired perfectly with a tasting of three iconic regional wines. Conclude your adventure by ascending the giant itself. Meet an official volcanological guide at the park entrance who will lead your group along the crater trail. Peer into the immense mouth of the volcano and learn about its dramatic geology while soaking in panoramic views of the Bay of Naples.
