Today you will enjoy a journey to discover art, history, folklore and archaeology in one of the most typical regions of southern Italy. Leaving Rome you will discover the beauty of the Campania region, admiring the imposing volcano Vesuvius, one of the most dangerous in the world. After a panoramic view of Naples, driving along the foot of the volcano, you will reach the old cameos and coral factory in Torre del Greco. After lunch in Pompeii, a wonderful journey through history where you can breathe the life of 2000 years ago walking through the ruins, will wait for you. As your guide leads you through the ancient streets of Pompeii, you will see some of what has been discovered in more than 1,700 years since Pompeii was covered by ashes during the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, including the Pompeii Forum and Jupiter Temple, ancient Teatro Grande and Teatro Piccolo, the Stabian Bath. Through the remains and ruins of this ancient city, you can picture the everyday life of the Imperial Age and imagine the panic felt by the people in those last few minutes before the city was so disastrously buried. Yet Pompeii was not the only town involved in the Vesuvius eruption: Ercolano, Stabiae, and Oplontis were also destroyed during the terrifying eruption of 79 A.D. It means that an important archaeological richness characterizes some of the most famous Vesuvian towns situated on the foot of the volcano. On the journey between Naples and Pompeii, we are going to drive exactly in this area, and admiring the rich vegetation that characterizes the surface of the volcano, the Local Guide will show you some of these famous Vesuvian towns, telling you the incredible history of these places.  This tour lasts approximately 13 hours with expected arrival in Rome around 8:15 pm. USEFUL INFORMATION: We suggest that you wear comfortable clothes and shoes for this excursion, and to wear sunglasses and sun hat in the summer months.
