What You Can Expect
Pompeii, Italy
After a break for an hour to enjoy a pizza lunch, you'll then board your coach to transfer to Mt. Vesuvius, to view first-hand the source of the devastation that destroyed the city of Pompeii almost two thousand years ago.
You can choose to climb Mt, Vesuvius (approximately 45 minutes), accompanied by your guide, and walk around the crater at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters). From the summit you'll have panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Peering down into the depths of the crater, you may see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano.
A medium to high level of fitness is required to complete the climb. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes! There is a rest point where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top.

Wonderful and imposing trip, recommend it.

I was fulfilling an ambition held for more than 50 years so it's no wonder that I thoroughly enjoyed the two excursions.
Our guide (Andreas?) for Pompeii was outstanding: he brought the place to life in a knowledgeable and humorous way interacting well with disparate elements in his audience.
The pizza lunch was enjoyable both because of the food and because of the opportunity it gave us to chat with other members of the group.
Vesuvius too was an enthralling experience.
Throughout the day the organisation of the groups/tours managed to be both 'Italian' and efficient.
