Description

An interesting and fascinating tour with a drive to the top of the volcano that destroyed the towns of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Stabiae, causing fears and the death of millions of inhabitants, more than two thousand years ago and yet rendered it eternal. The visitors will experience, as if they had a time machine, how those ancient Romans lived and admire the level of civic progress and artistic skills they had reached so many years ago.

One you reach the Mt Vesuvius you will stop in a local resturant located in a panoramic place along the slopes. Enjoy your lunch with wine tasting with local food.

The route that will take you to the top of Mount Vesuvius goes through a National Park of unusual beauty. Pine forests and lush woods, bright yellow flowers bloom and an uncanny volcanic landscape. A most spectacular drive with amazing views of the bay of Naples.
