Roundtrip transportation from the meeting point
Leuk: Vesuvius en Pompeii tour Niet leuk: de wijnproeverij slaat nergens op. Er worden gewoon 3 wijntjes ingeschonken en er wordt een bord met eten voor je neergezet. Geen achtergrondinformatie over de wijn niks. Sterker nog, er wordt geeneens verteld welke wijn je drinkt. Als je ergens naar vraagt spreken ze geen Engels. Absoluut niet wat je verwacht van een proeverij, 3 wijntjes inschenken en zonder nadenken opdrinken kan ik thuis ook.
Take part in a guided tour from Naples that will lead you to explore two of the region's most iconic sites, Pompeii ruins and Mt. Vesuvius! Along the way, you will also stop to relax and enjoy a tasting of local food and wine on the slopes of the volcano.
The tour starts with the visit of the Roman city of Pompeii ruins, the most famous and evocative archeological site in the world. Your guide will show you the archaeological area's most important sites, like the thermal baths, the frescos of the Lupanare, the Macellum, and the Basilica. After the tour of Pompeii, drive up mount Vesuvius and stop in a local restaurant located in a panoramic place along the volcano slopes. Here, you'll taste local wnes paired with typical, genuine food.
Continue towards Mount Vesuvius, 'the Big Giant' whose eruption caused the destruction of Pompeii in AD 79. Reach 1000 mt. by car and then continue on foot up to the top of the volcano, where you'll see the crater. Admire the cone of Vesuvius (1281 mt.), the summit of Mount Somma (1133 mt.), and the Valley of the Giant. At the summit, you can enjoy an explanation made by a professional tour guide or choose to explore the crater at your own pace.
