Program details

Join us on a day of adventure and discovery around the many fascinating sites that surround Naples. This tour takes you from the ancient ruins of Pompeii to the beautiful Cameo and Coral factory and more. Enjoy a day of history, enlightenment, elegance and natural beauty.

After being picked up from the famous Garibaldi Square, you will be driven into the oldest pages of history. Explore the heart-breaking ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that saw its final curtain drawn by the eruption of its fearsome neighbour: the volcano Vesuvius, still ominously active during our day and age. Meet up with your knowledgeable tour guide and meander through the ruins, which are still nowadays being brought out of their ashen grave. Thanks to your guide’s eloquent explanations, the tales recorded in the books of history will seemingly come to life among the wrecked homes.

After that incursion into the past, it is time to give an elegant twist to the tour and visit the splendid Cameo and Coral factory, located very close to the ruins. Here they create some of the most distinguished and beautiful jewellery in the country. Cameo and coral’s combining hues of pink, white and red make truly distinguished jewels. Observe the delicate manufacturing process and – of course – enjoy a little shopping spree.

After that, before making our way back to Naples, we enjoy a last heart-warming lunch at restaurant Vesuvius, also reachable by foot from the ruins.
