TOUR DESCRIPTION

Two-thirds of the ancient city of Pompeii has been excavated allowing you to explore this once flourishing civilisation.

Take a guided walk through the rocky ruins of the excavated city of Pompeii. The baths and the theatres, the wrestling ground and the luxurious villas stand empty, yet there are many echoes of Pompeii's daily life; the wine jars are still set on the counter of the wine shop, the stepping stones are there to help you cross the street in the rainy season, and the mosaic floors and brilliant frescoes are a wonder to this very day. The plaster casts of the volcano's victims are particularly poignant and one can never forget the horrible events that brought life in Pompeii to an end.

Your driver guide or tour guide will recount the fascinating story of Pompeii, its demise and how it has been miraculously excavated and restored over hundreds of years.

During your drive to Pompeii, you will drive up to the Vesuvius, the still-active volcano located about 15 miles south east of Naples. With wonderful views to stop and take photos then arrive at the top of the volcano where you can admire the grandeur of Mount Vesuvius from afar.

at a height of 3,000 feet where your ascent on foot will begin. Zig-zag paths lead an additional 1,000 feet to the crater walls. On the edge of this imposing crater, your alpine guide will demonstrate how ‘alive' Vesuvius is as they point out hot spots. Take a moment to absorb the phenomenon of this majestic volcano and the panoramic view over the Bay of Naples.Then we definetaly suggest a nice spot where in additional of your fresh tomatos and real spaghetti "ardente " a simple genuine local wine tasting.

This is a great opportunity to taste a local production of wine Lacrima Cristi , Falanghina and local red wine from the Vesuvius earth
