Pompeii is a unique destination, offering visitors the rare opportunity to explore an ancient Roman city that has been remarkably preserved despite the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried it under layers of ash, debris, and mud. This exceptional preservation has earned Pompeii its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On this tour departing from Naples, you’ll first visit the Pompeii archaeological site, where you will spend approximately 2 hours discovering its fascinating ruins. Afterward, enjoy a lunch break at a traditional restaurant on the slopes of Vesuvius, with options for pizza or a wine tasting experience.

Following lunch, the tour continues with a visit to Mt. Vesuvius, the iconic volcano that has been depicted in numerous works of art throughout history. A must-see experience in the Bay of Naples, you will ascend to a height of 1,000 meters (out of Vesuvius’s 1,100-meter peak), where a short walk will lead you to the crater, offering breathtaking views and a chance to explore this mighty natural landmark.
