Full Description

Explore Herculaneum with a Private Guide: Begin your day with a private 2-hour guided tour of the archaeological site of Herculaneum (tickets included). Unlike its more famous neighbor Pompeii, Herculaneum was covered by a thick layer of volcanic mud during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., which helped preserve the town in incredible detail. Walk through the ancient streets, visit houses, shops, baths, and even a well-preserved villa, and gain insight into the daily life of the Romans before the eruption brought their city to an abrupt end.

Trek to the Crater of Mt. Vesuvius: After your exploration of Herculaneum, continue your journey with a visit to Mt. Vesuvius, the very volcano that caused the destruction of Herculaneum and Pompeii (tickets included). You’ll have time to trek up to the crater of the volcano, which stands at roughly 4,200 feet. Whether you hike to the very top or stop along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, with sights stretching from Sorrento to Capo Miseno, and the islands of Procida and Ischia. It’s a thrilling adventure with a touch of awe-inspiring history.

Wine Tasting at a Local Vineyard: After the hike, enjoy a relaxing visit to a vineyard situated on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Here, you’ll discover the unique qualities of wines grown in the volcanic soil, including the famous “Lacryma Christi.” The tradition of winemaking in this area dates back to Roman times when the wines were known as “Vesuvinum.” During your visit, you’ll taste several varieties of locally produced wines, accompanied by a light lunch featuring fresh local ingredients. The lunch typically includes a variety of appetizers such as bruschetta, cured meats, and vegetables, followed by a main dish, often a pasta with the region’s delicious tomato sauce. Depending on the location and availability, you might finish your meal with a cheese tasting or a dessert.

This all-inclusive private tour offers the perfect balance of history, adventure, and gastronomy. Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, hiking to the top of a live volcano, or savoring exceptional wines, you’ll create lasting memories of Southern Italy’s vibrant culture and scenic beauty.
