Visit the most famous ancient ruins in the world, Pompeii, and then hike up to the top of the volcano that destroyed it and created the legend: the Vesuvius! A Guide will show you the best attractions in the huge Pompeii site and, after lunch, a walking around the carter of the only still active volcano of continental Europe will offer you an amazing view of the bay of Naples from eastern to western side.
Between 7:45am and 08:30am departure from your Hotel in Naples or from the closest meeting point (*** see Notes below) to reach Pompeii, the ancient Roman
city which was flooded with lava during the explosion of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Meet your Licensed Pompeii Guide around 9:00 am and start a 1h30' walking tour in history!
Discover how everything here has remained intact, preserved over time by the lava of Vesuvius and the skill of historians and archeologists who have preserved this splendid UNESCO heritage.
At the end of the Pompeii tour enjoy a typical lunch at a local restaurant and reach the top of Mount Vesuvius!
Thanks to an easy hike lasting approximately 30 minutes, you will have the chance to walk around the crater at 1280 meters while gazing at the wonderful view of the Gulf of Naples on the horizon and walk on one of the still active craters of Europe.
During the hiking, a local guide (the guide service comes included with the entrance fee) will meet and teach you the history of the volcano and will walk with you around the crater for a while.
The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD is the main eruptive event that occurred on Vesuvius in historical times. The eruption, which profoundly changed the morphology of the volcano and the surrounding territories, resulted in the destruction of the cities of Herculaneum, Pompeii, Oplontis and Stabia, whose ruins, which were buried under layers of pumice, were brought to light starting from the 18th century.
At the end of the tour, drive back to Naples and drop off at your Hotel or arrange a different arrival point in town.
