Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii Day Tour from Naples

start date: 2008-09-23
end date: 2009-03-29

Take a full day tour from Naples to explore Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius, the only active volcano of continental Europe. By coach, you'll drive the Torre del Greco, passing through Vesuvius National Park before arriving in Pompeii for a guided tour (approximately two hours) of the sites.

You'll see the forum, the thermal baths, Vetti's House and Lupanare buried by volcanic ashes from the eruption in 79AD. Break for an hour to enjoy a pizza lunch and then board your coach to transfer to Mt Vesuvius.

Choose to climb Mt Vesuvius (approximately 45 minutes), accompanied by your guide and walk around the crater at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters) to see the charming bay of Naples from east to west. A medium to high level of fitness is required to complete the climb. There is a rest point at 1000 meters where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top.
