Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Hike with Lunch and Wine Tasting

Experience overview

Begin your adventure in Naples, where our tour departs year-round. First, discover the haunting ruins of Pompeii, a Roman city frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Your guide will unveil Pompeii's highlights, including thermal baths, the Macellum, an ancient marketplace, a bakery, a workshop, a temple of one of the several mythological Roman Gods, the Basilica, the Forum, and a Domus, a house of a rich Roman family. In case of restoration work or exceptional circumstances, we'll replace the visit with another fascinating ancient site. After Pompeii, ascend Mount Vesuvius and savor a delicious meal at a vineyard famous for its wine production with panoramic views of the volcano. You can indulge in a wine tasting featuring authentic local cuisine. Next, follow our driver to an elevation of 1000 meters, and from there, you'll trek to the volcano's summit to witness the awe-inspiring crater. At the peak, a professional National Park guide will provide insights, or you can explore the crater on your own. Marvel at Mount Somma (1133 meters) to the left and Vesuvius' cone (1281 meters) to the right, separated by the striking Valley of the Giant. Mount Vesuvius is both majestic and captivating -- a must-visit destination! Please Note: The entrance fee to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius is included in the tour price; however, all guests must present a valid photo ID on the day of the tour. Children under 18 may enter for free with valid identification. On national holidays and the first Sunday of each month, long lines are common, and the itinerary may be adjusted to ensure the best possible experience.
