    Full description

    Travel back in time to the devastating day in 79 AD the brooding volcano of Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the Roman city of Pompeii beneath molten ash.

    On arrival, follow your expert guide on a 2-hour tour through the remains of this UNESCO world heritage site remarkably frozen in time for almost 2,000 years.

    Hear stories about the Forum, Thermal Baths, the Lupanare, the Greek Theatre, and plaster casts of the bodies of Pompeii people burnt by volcanic ashes and lapilli during the eruption in 79 A.D.

    Savor a typical Naples lunch of pizza at one of Pompeii’s cafés. Then, be driven close to the summit of the mountain that destroyed it. From there, it's just a walk to the lip of the crater.

    The only active volcano in continental Europe, Vesuvius has erupted many times, but it was the destruction of Pompeii and its surrounding towns that made it most famous. Climb to the top, and walk around the crater, taking in the atmosphere of the smoking mountain.

    Enjoy the stunning views over the Bay of Naples. Return to Naples at approximately 5:00 PM and be dropped off at your hotel, the cruise ship, or the railway station.

    Visiting Pompeii and Vesuvius was an amazing and unforgettable experience without any doubt. Anyone who will go to Naples should visit those two places. Our tour guide Francesca, from the other hand, even though gave us all the infos that we needed to learn about Pompeii , was rude and not too easy to communicate especially in the beginning. It was our first time there we knew nothing about where to go or what to do and yet I wanted to ask a question and all I got back was to ignore me. So after that i didn't have much joy in listing to her. Another than that eveything was more than amazing!

    Fantastic trip! Highly recommend. I learned a lot about the history of Pompeii and how important it was and still is too the culture of the world. Mt. Vesuvius was the most beautiful view I've ever seen at the top. Have some Tear of God wine while you're up there!

    The pick-up was on time, perfect. The trip was very well organized. Of course in Pompei for 2h you see only the highlights but if you don't want (or can't) spend there the whole day, that's a trip for you. On Vesuvio you have enough time to even drink a glass of wine on the top. The lunch could be better or at least have more choice.
