Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius w/lunch and wine tasting | Private

A full-day private journey through ancient history and dramatic landscapes, this tour combines the ruins of Pompeii with the volcanic slopes of Mount Vesuvius—crowned by a leisurely lunch and guided wine tasting. An English-speaking driver ensures seamless, comfortable transport, while expert local guides bring each site to life with vivid storytelling tailored to curious travelers, families, and history lovers.

Pompeii: A City Frozen in Time

Step inside a UNESCO World Heritage Site suspended since 79 A.D. Walk paved Roman streets, peek into frescoed villas, and stand in the shadow of amphitheaters and bathhouses that reveal how Romans lived, worked, and celebrated. Your private guide crafts a route through highlights and hidden corners alike, revealing mosaics, shops, and gardens that survived beneath layers of ash for nearly two millennia.

Mount Vesuvius: On the Edge of a Crater

After Pompeii, the road climbs to Vesuvius National Park. From the upper parking area, the final scenic path leads to the rim, where panoramas sweep across the Bay of Naples toward Capri and the Amalfi Coast. A licensed volcanological guide explains the mountain’s geology, its famous eruption, and the ongoing forces shaping the crater. Access to the trail is subject to weather and park regulations; alternative viewpoints are arranged whenever conditions require.

Lunch and Wine Tasting

Following the descent, savor a relaxed countryside lunch paired with a curated tasting of Campanian wines—often including varietals nurtured in volcanic soils. Seasonal dishes, regional produce, and local hospitality offer a delicious counterpoint to the morning’s archaeological and natural wonders. Dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.
