The first Vespa Tour in Campania!

Pompeii lies about 13 miles southeast of Naples. This ancient Roman town was buried in 79 ad when Mt. Vesuvius (a still-active volcano) erupted. Pompeii is considered to be one of the few sites where an ancient city has been preserved in detail. It is a walking site where strolling around with our archaeologist-guide you’ll have the sense to be in a still alive ancient roman city.

It’s a Unesco World Heritage Site.

the ride from Pompeii to the volcano last 1 hour

Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in Roman times described by Pliny the younger, when Pompeii and Herculaneum were engulfed. The eruption left a large crater that can still be visited today. It is a currently latent volcano whose last eruption happened in the 1944. At the top of the volcano is a crater rim that affords a view into the crater that still fumes slightly. Besides that you will have a stunning panorama overseeing the Bay of Naples, Capri, Ischia, the edge of the Sorrento coast and more. Everyone has to walk up the last 500m steeply uphill. Closed-in shoes are essential.
