Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pompeii - Archaeological Area., Porta Marina Superiore (Via Villa dei Misteri) Piazza Immacolata, Piazza Porta Marina inf., 80045 Pompeii Italy

Uncover the marvelously preserved ruins of the ancient city Pompeii on the only tour that combines an in-depth guided visit to this renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site, a trip up the volcano responsible for its very existence, and a delicious lunch of the region’s most cherished recipes paired with 6 superb locally produced wines. Your imagination and palate will delight on this thrilling day spent in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius with expert local guides, great food and wine, as well as an itinerary that will take you to these acclaimed sights directly from the heart of Naples!

Meet up with your expert local guide and hop aboard a comfortable private coach for the archaeological area of Pompeii. Your guide will share captivating stories and history behind the fateful day in 79 AD when Mt. Vesuvius exploded in one of the most catastrophic eruptions ever, covering the area in a thick layer of ash and rubble.

Once we get to Pompeii you’ll benefit from skip-the-line, pre-booked entry and the expertise of an official local guide, as you walk this former port resort’s main streets just as the ancient Romans did. The stones are still worn with tracks from the chariots that tread them nearly 2,000 years ago! We’ll visit the forum, the center of Pompeii’s political and social life, the startling plaster death casts of the victims of the violent eruption that destroyed the city, as well as take a look inside intact dwellings complete with their porticoes, mosaics and frescoes. The city’s baths and gymnasiums will also impress as you look across the millennia at a moment frozen in time forever.


Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Vesuvius National Park, Via Palazzo del Principe, 80044 Ottaviano Italy

After Pompeii, we’ll take you up the lush slopes of Mt. Vesuvius itself to meet its most famous wine producer for a tasting of 6 fantastic native varieties produced from the volcanic soil right beneath your feet! Enjoy an inviting 3-course lunch of some of the region’s most delectable culinary delights, including cheeses, cured meats, pasta with local ‘piennolo’ heirloom tomatoes and a mouthwatering ‘pastiera napoletana’ pastry dessert with ricotta cheese and fruit. Admire sweeping views from the terrace over the surrounding countryside, and visit the vineyards and cellar with a careful explanation of the grape varietals and each step in the winemaking process from the family that owns them.

From here we’ll finish our ascent to the edge of Mt. Vesuvius’s crater. Take the chance to look an active volcano in the face on the 20-minute hike where you’ll get to look inside the caldera and take in the most breathtaking panoramas of the day. You’ll see Naples, the bay and the island of Capri from a height of over 4,200 feet, as well as bask in the pristine nature that surrounds you.

Jump on your private coach again and enjoy the drive back to Naples as your guide winds down the day satisfying your every curiosity. This is Pompeii and Vesuvius as it is rarely experienced!

I had a great time on this tour. We got to hike up to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius (the bus went most of the way up, but there is a strenuous 20-30 minute walk to the top viewing platform.) After Vesuvius was lunch at a lovely vineyard, followed by a tour of Pompeii. My only wish would have been more time at Pompeii--our local guide gave us the highlights, which was probably fine for most people, but as a history buff I would have liked more time there. Overall very pleasant experience, and I would recommend it.

I’ve been here before and I’d like to say that this experience was brand new to me! My husband and I were blown away by the enthusiasm and information from our guide. We were lucky because our tour was only FOUR people - wow! It’s usually much much larger, so we had a nice intimate-like setting especially at lunch. BRING WATER and stay hydrated. The food was good and the wine tasty, although I’m not huge on reds - but I adored the sparkling white. My biggest advice is for Mt. Vesuvius - wear. Good. Shoes. because the hike once you get there is a steep incline on gravel/loose foundation, and there’s zero shade. So make sure you also have sunscreen. ANYWAYS - incredible tour. Book this. You’ll love it - and btw I’m a teacher. I hope this was helpful to you!

Pompeii was amazing. The guides were great. The only thing that was disappointing, was we were unable to go to Mt. Vesuvius and as a filler, you added the archaeological museum and just dropped us off at 2 p.m. when we weren't supposed to return until 5:30!I feel we were shorted, plus no guide for what was suppose to be guided. We should have been given an option or compensated and returned to original pickup place. instead, we had to take the Metro!

Chez (spelling ?) was very pleasant and helpful. Going to Mount Vesuvius first in the morning was brilliant because the weather was a little cooler. The walk was challenging but he told us that before we started. Lunch was really nice at a local winery. The wine pairing with each course was a nice touch. That afternoon we went to Pompei and was educated by a wonderful, interesting guide named Bernadette (I think). She was a wealth of information. We loved it.

The Pompeii tour was amazing and very informative. It involves a bit of walking but very much worth it. Mt. Vesuvius tour was a little disappointing, but not due to the tour company. An unforseen natural event took place and was not able to fully view the volcano. Lunch and wine tasting, however, was simple splendid. We especially enjoyed the wine tasting.

The main reason I chose this tour was for the winery on Mt Vesuvius and it did not disappoint. The winery was beautiful with the mountain rising in the background and the wine tasted really interesting no surprises that it's from a volcano area. The lunch was also superb - a three course meal with wine served throughout. The tour guides were also a lot of fun, particularly our guide on the coach and our guide in Pompeii. Both were very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. They made the tour a lot of fun and very interesting. It was a nice touch to have a glass of wine from the winery at the top of Mt Vesuvius! It was well deserved after a tough climb in the heat/direct sun.
