TOUR ITINERARY

The Day Trip to Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvio is full of archeological history with the beautiful landscape both from on top of the Mountain and looking up to it. The tours are led by expert English speaking drivers and local walking guides or Mt. Vesuvio park personnel whom will help to create a personalized experience while taking into account your specific interests. These incredible services enable you to tour the city with a native Italian guide showing you the real face of the city you are visiting.

Your day starts when you meet our driver guide in the lobby of your hotel in Rome and together you will make the drive towards Naples. Mt. Vesuvio is best know for its powerful eruption which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79AD with lava, ash and fumes. On this day trip you will explore the mountain where it all began.

As you arrive way up Mt. Vesuvio you will be dropped off to a representative of the park for an approximately 90-minute walk up and back down the mountain. Following your hike up we will have time for a nice lunch and then continue on to Pompeii in the afternoon. Our driver guide will be happy to give you suggestions based on your tastes and budget. At the end of the day, we will drive you back to your hotel in Rome and you will take with you, many wonderful memories of your day in this amazing part of Italy. Weekday travel is recommended from May to October though we can offer this tour on weekends during that time if needed.

Pompei 2 hour walking tour – Usually at 2:00pm

Pompei used to be a resort town in the South of Naples, located on the western coast of Italy. Many wealthy Romans had “country homes” there. On a fateful summer’s day in 79 AD, Mt Vesuvius erupted, spewing volcanic ash and lapilli (a small, lightweight pebbly material) over the village of Pompeii. At its largest, Pompeii had a population of approximately 20,000 people. Most people fled the eruption but an estimated 2000 people did not and died from toxic gasses or were buried in the eruption along with the city. Lasting for almost a full day, Pompei was buried under some 25 feet of volcanic material.

While Pompei remained in the local’s memories, as time passed its location was lost. Rediscovered in the 1700s. Excavation was started, but not until the mid 1800s was there meticulous recording of the discoveries. Amazingly preserved by the lapilli and ash, much information from Pompeii has been regained. Almost 2,000 years later, you have the opportunity to explore the preserved ruins of this famous disaster.
