Overview

Treat yourself to a day packed with adventure, culture, and (of course) Italian wine. Start by exploring one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites — Pompeii — with a real local guide showing you the hidden gems of this ancient city.

Then, we’ll take you to a stunning location in the vineyards of Mount Vesuvius, where local food and Vesuvian wine await. After that, hop on horseback for a guided ride through Vesuvius National Park (500 meters above sea level), right by the very volcano that once stopped the ancient Romans in their tracks.

Please note: The horseback ride is at a slow pace, it's meant to spend time with animals and admire the views, it's not suitable for those who would like to galop/ride fast
