Itinerary
Your tour begins from the meeting point or pickup location you selected in Naples, including the Port of Naples, hotel, or private accommodation. Leaving Naples, enjoy scenic views of the Bay of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius dominating the landscape as you approach the archaeological site. Explore Pompeii with a licensed professional guide on a private tour that brings the ancient Roman city to life. Walk through remarkably preserved streets, homes, temples, baths, and public buildings while learning how daily life unfolded before the eruption of 79 AD that froze the city in time.
After Pompeii, travel up the slopes of Mount Vesuvius to a beautiful vineyard overlooking the Bay of Naples. Surrounded by volcanic soil and vines, enjoy a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Savor a traditional three-course lunch made entirely with local products: a selection of Vesuvian salumi and cheeses, spaghetti with Piennolo tomatoes—a rare tomato grown only on Mount Vesuvius—followed by homemade local meatballs and the traditional Neapolitan dessert Pastiera Napoletana. All dishes are paired with local wines produced directly on the estate.
After lunch, relax during the scenic drive back to Naples. If time permits, enjoy views of Naples’ monumental area, offering a final glimpse of the city’s historic landmarks and elegant architecture before drop-off at the Port of Naples or your chosen location.
