Your Itinerary
Pompeii Archaeological Park
First stop is Pompeii: you will enjoy the Pompeii Archaeological Park (Skip-The-Line Tickets included). You can go inside on your own or if you wish, you have the option to include a private licensed guide for an additional fee. If no private guide option is chosen, you can rent audio-guides (availables in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Japanese). Pompeii Ruins: Visiting Pompeii is not like a museum , is as live again in an ancient roman commercial town of 3 Km. Buildings, temples, shops catched in the time of the eruption. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many ancient towns in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Vesuvius National Park
Lunch and Wine Tasting (both included): In a local restaurant/winery on the slope of the Vesuvius Volcano: it is located between Pompeii and Vesuvius' volcanic crater. All guests visiting the winery are welcome to stay for an "Italian style" tasting, held on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Tasting menu includes: • Antipasto appetizer with local products: salami, provolone cheese, 'casatiello' (a local savory bread), and bruschetta with heirloom Piennolo tomatoes on bread baked in a wood-burning oven, paired with Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOP, Rosato, and Rosso. • Spaghetti made with durum wheat flour and tossed with a sauce made from heirloom Piennolo tomatoes and basil, paired with Lacryma Christi Riserva (aged in French oak barrels for 18 - 24 months). • Pastiera Napolitana, a traditional dessert, paired with Capafresca Spumante Rosato and Acquavite di Albicocche del Vesuvio, an apricot distillate. • Under 18 soft drinks instead wine.
Parco Acheologico di Ercolano
Last stop Herculaneum Archaeological Park (Skip-The-Line Tickets included): Born in the archaic age and initially inhabited by an indigenous settlement, the city was later exposed to Samnitic, Greek, and Etruscan influences, up to the predominance of Roman civilisation, still today visible and in an excellent state of preservation. Situated on a volcanic plateau, sheer over the sea, Herculaneum like the other cities of Vesuvius was submerged by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D., which buried it beneath a layer of debris measuring up to twenty-three metres in height.
