Highlights
Saddle up for an unforgettable journey on the slopes of Europe's most famous volcano. This isn't your typical horseback ride - you'll traverse ancient lava paths while your expert guide shares stories of Vesuvius's dramatic history and the civilizations it has shaped. Feel the power beneath you as your horse carries you through landscapes forged by centuries of volcanic activity. The panoramic views of the Bay of Sorrento, and surrounding countryside create perfect photo opportunities at every turn. Experience the thrill of riding where Roman soldiers once marched, on trails that wind through vineyards growing in the world's most fertile volcanic soil. Please note: The horseback ride is at a slow pace, it's meant to spend time with animals and admire the views, it's not suitable for those who would like to galop/ride fast

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
Top-ranked sights in Pompeii: Pompeii Archaeological Site, Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane), Via dell’Abbondanza.
