What to expect

  1. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Our professional guides will lead you into this journey in the Ancient Roman life, bringing Pompeii back to the glorious days. According to Plinius the Young in fact, the city had been buried under layers of lava, stones and ashes after the Mt. Vesuvius eruption dated 79 A.D. More than 2000 years later, houses, theatres, shops, ancient restaurants, bakeries and temples come back to light, giving us the chance to appreciate the ancient splendour of this town. With your guide you will enter the theatres, the bakeries, the Baths, the house of Menander and even more. The magnificence of the frescoes and mosaics, still perfect after all this time, will leave you breathless, as well as the perfection of the pipes and steam systems. You will then be introduced into the Lupanariae – the red-light district – to then end the tour into the Forum, the bigger square of the city where the political, religious and social activities where developed.
  2. Vesuvius National Park
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    At the end of the Pompeii tour enjoy a quick break to have some rest and lunch and prepare yourself to the incredible walk up on the volcano Vesuvius slopes. The driver will bring you half way to the top of the crater, where you will join your geology expert guide to reach the top of the Vesuvius. The spectacular view over Naples and the Gulf will leave you amazed.
    The Pompeii tour lasts 2 hours and the Vesuvius tour lasts 1.5 hours.

    Important: in case of heavy rain the National park of the Vesuvius might be closed. In that case our drivers and guides will be happy to suggest you alternative sites to visit.
