Day trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius from Naples

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.
