Start with pickup from your hotel in Rome and travel to Pompeii Archeological Park. Meet your private archeologist guide and embark on a 2-hour tour of one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.  Discover the history of this Roman city which was preserved by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in AD 79. See buildings such as thermal baths, various temples, the bakery and the Great Theater of Pompeii. Admire preserved artwork, mosaics, and frescoes which still adorn the walls of these buildings. Learn about day-to-day life in Roman times as you wander through the ancient streets.  Afterwards, enjoy a typical Neapolitan lunch at a local winery. Take a tour of the vineyards, learn about the operation of the winery, and enjoy tastings of local wines. In the afternoon, visit Mount Vesuvius. Make your way to the top of the volcano to see its crater. Enjoy the stunning volcanic landscape and fantastic views of the Bay of Naples, Capri, Ischia, and the Sorrento coastline. Then, return to Rome with drop-off at your accommodation in the evening.
