What to expect

  1. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    Itinerary

    Around 8.30 am we will come to pick you up at your hotel in Naples and we will go to the archaeological excavations of Pompeii in a private MiniVan

    After a journey of about 40 minutes, we will arrive at the ruins of the ancient Roman city. On August 24, 79, Emperor Titus received one of the worst news of his reign: Vesuvius unleashed its fury on Stabia, Herculaneum and Pompeii. We will see closely the devastating effects of the volcano on the latter city along its roads, where we will observe how ash covered most of the urban layout.

    The city was completely buried and forgotten until the eighteenth century. We will tell you the story of how, in this era, the remains were discovered thanks to the excavations encouraged by the future King of Spain Charles III. On our tour we will cross the forum where the Romans gathered and traded. We will learn about their lifestyle by visiting the remains of public buildings such as the lupanare, decorated with frescoes represented erotic scenes. In the majestic Casa dei Vettii we will admire the luxury that reigned in the homes of the wealthiest families.
  2. Vesuvius National Park
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    Around 12:30, we will then head towards Torre del Greco, located right at the foot of the most famous volcano in Campania.

    We will begin a journey on foot that will take us to the summit of Vesuvius. At almost 1000 meters above sea level we will be able to enjoy amazing views over the entire Gulf of Naples. In this area of the western Mediterranean, the eruption that caused the devastation of the populations of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabia took place in the year 79 of the first century.

    Coming down from the top of Vesuvius we will know other details about this tragic event that occurred at the time of the Roman Empire. We will also discover some curiosities about this mountain which, together with Etna, is one of the volcanoes of Western Europe which has hosted several shots in its surroundings.
