Why take this tour?

Meet our tour leader at Termini Station and get an early start by high-speed train in complete comfort. In just over an hour we arrive in bella Napoli, where your ItaliaTours leader will greet you and lead you to the bus headed straight for Pompeii.

Our English-speaking guides are natives of Pompeii and most have taken an active part in the excavations here which will be evident as they lead you through the streets of this fascinating city. They will reveal the frozen moments of terror, death poses, and ruins that have remained unchanged for almost 2000 years. You can take a leisurely stroll through the ancient streets, where you'll see perfectly preserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, private and communal residences, public baths, and even brothels. You'll also have the opportunity to view plaster casts of the Pompeiians who were captured in time on that tragic day.

Upon conclusion of the guided tour in Pompeii, our driver will lead the way to a prize-winning vineyard nearby to taste four of the wines produced on the fertile volcanic slopes of Mt. Vesuvius followed by a leisurely lunch where local specialties take center stage. After enjoying an abundance of antipasti, a farm-to-table first course, and dessert at the winery, enjoy a scenic transfer to Sorrento or your destination of choice on the Amalfi Coast.
