Highlights
Combine a guided tour of famous Pompeii with a visit to Vesuvius crater and a local cameo and coral factory for a hassle-free, comprehensive full-day excursion. Learn more about the history and culture of Pompeii from your guide than you would if you toured independently, before taking in spectacular views from the crater atop Vesuvius. Pompeii was a city that disappeared from maps and people's memories when it was completely buried under the ashes that erupted from the volcano in 79 AD. These ruins offer an incredible picture of the daily life of the ancient Romans and their original urban environment: houses, shops, frescoes, thermal baths, mosaics and much more. Included in this tour is a stop at a cameo and coral workshop to learn more about this ancient art and craft. After a light lunch, continue this tour to the top for a short hike to the volcano's crater.

About Naples
Passionate and chaotic beneath Vesuvius, Naples is the birthplace of pizza and the gateway to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
The historic centre, a dense grid of streets laid out by the ancient Greeks, is a world of churches, street shrines and laundry strung between balconies. Spaccanapoli cuts straight through it, Via San Gregorio Armeno is lined with nativity-scene workshops, and the Sansevero Chapel holds the astonishing Veiled Christ. Underground, tunnels and cisterns reveal the Greek and Roman city below.
Top-ranked sights in Naples: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
