Description:

Get the most from your once-in-a-lifetime Pompeii and Vesuvius trip with this intimate, small-group tour. Led by 2 expert guides, learn about the history of Pompeii and the science of volcanoes—and what happens when they collide.

Meet your group in Naples or Sorrento and travel in a luxury, air-conditioned shuttle directly to the infamous city of Pompeii. Join an archaeologist-in-training with experience working on the excavations and set off for a day of exploration.

Wander the ruins of Pompeii—including the villas of wealthy residents, the Roman Forum, the baths, and the world-famous plaster casts that identify sites helpless citizens once perished. As you stroll through the incredibly preserved cityscapes, your guide fills you in on what life was like at the height of Pompeii’s existence, and what it must have been like on the fateful day Mt. Vesuvius erupted, destroying everything in its path.

Take a break for lunch before climbing the steep slopes of Mt. Vesuvius in a 4x4 vehicle. Follow a trained geologist and step into the crater of Mt. Vesuvius to see puffs of smoke from this still active volcano. From this breathtaking vantage point, admire incredible views of Naples and snap a few photos before heading back down.
