Embark on an adventure of epic proportions! Hike to the summit of Mt. Vesuvius for incredible views of the volcano's crater and the Bay of Naples. You'll also see the violent side of a volcano on a 2-hour tour of the ruins of Pompeii-the city buried in a cataclysmic eruption by this force of nature when it erupted in 79 A.D. Explore the grounds on this guided walking tour of the excavated city. Your knowledgeable guide will point out the remarkably preserved remains that hint at daily Roman life-their customs, buildings and cuisine; how they entertained, decorated and lived. Before returning to the pier, you'll have an opportunity to stop at a cameo factory where artisans intricately carve seashell and coral into keepsake jewelry.
Special Notes:
In case weather conditions close the Mt. Vesuvius site, an orientation drive of Naples will be done in place of the hike.This tour involves extensive walking over uneven terrain. Caution is advised when walking across hardened lava and rocky ground where crevices still exude fumes and heat. Passengers with a history of heart disease or high blood pressure should not participate.
Passengers should wear low-healed comfortable walking shoes, hat, and bring sunblock.
Please note this tour does not include lunch. Passengers should bring along Euros to purchase a snack outside of Pompeii.
Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
For security reasons, it is forbidden to enter inside Pompeii excavations with big bags, backpacks or trolleys. Please be aware that, since lockers are not available, it is recommended to leave them inside the coach
