Along the way, listen as your guide sheds light on the city’s past and gain insight into the deadly volcanic eruption of 79 A.D.
On arrival in Pompeii, explore the site and learn of life there during the Roman era. See key sites of interest, and hear how the bustling streets were silenced by the heavy downpour of ash and molten rock.
Next, head onward to Mt Vesuvius and hike to the crater for panoramic views over Naples and its beautiful bay. Follow rugged trails around the crater’s edge and marvel at the spectacular volcanic scenery you find.
Visit a local winery and explore the vineyards, where diverse grape varietals flourish in the fertile soils. Perhaps take the opportunity to sample some of the delicate wines in production, then enjoy lunch there (own expense). When your time at the winery is over, return in comfort to Sorrento or Naples to conclude your tour.
