Vesuvius and Pompeii excavations
The tour I propose is a complete experience that will lead you to discover two of the most significant gems of Campania: the majestic Vesuvius and the ancient ruins of Pompeii, enriched by a stop to delight your palate with local delicacies.
We will start the day with a visit to Vesuvius, the volcano that dominates the horizon and which has shaped the history and landscape of the region. Climbing up its slopes, you will be able to admire breathtaking views while immersing yourself in the lush nature that surrounds the volcano. Once you reach the summit, if conditions permit, you will have the opportunity to take a short hike up to the crater, from which you can admire the vastness of the surrounding territory and fully understand the power of this active volcano.
After the adventure on Vesuvius, we will move towards the ruins of Pompeii, one of the most important testimonies of ancient Roman civilization. Here, you will be transported back in time as you explore the cobbled streets, well-preserved houses, temples and theaters, discovering the daily life of the inhabitants of almost two thousand years ago. Through archaeological evidence and expert guides, you will have the opportunity to completely immerse yourself in the history of this fascinating city buried under ash and lapilli from the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
After the visit to Pompeii, we will take a break at a local restaurant or winery, where you can savor authentic dishes of Campania cuisine prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You will have the opportunity to taste local specialties, such as Neapolitan pizza, fresh pasta, cheeses and cured meats typical of the region. If you are a wine enthusiast, you can also opt for a guided tasting of the renowned Campania wines, appreciating the unique aromas and flavors of these wine excellences.
