No trip to Italy is complete without a visit to Pompeii. This luxury van tour from Rome will show you a city immortalised by a volcanic eruption, followed by a hot snack and visit to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius!
On arrival in Pompeii you will meet your expert archaeologist guide and look back in time to when Pompeii was a thriving Roman port through VR visors which accurately reanimate antiquity, enabling you to toggle back and forth between Pompeii past and Pompeii present. Once you have seen virtual Pompeii as it was before Vesuvius exploded, we pack up the visors and tour the ruins on foot..
Tuck into pizza or panini with your driver before he takes you as far as vehicles are allowed. Hike for 20 minutes to look directly inside the crater of this sleeping giant! Luckily for us, the only signs of life from the crater today are a bit of steam and a slight sulphuric odor.
As your afternoon winds down, you'll join your driver once again for the return journey to Rome.
