About this tour
Spend six hours exploring Pompeii's frozen Roman streets with a private guide, then head to Mount Vesuvius's volcanic slopes for lunch and wine tasting at a family-run winery. Your own driver handles transport throughout, whisking you between the archaeological site and vineyards without the usual queues. Walk among ancient houses and shops where ordinary people lived nearly two millennia ago, then taste local varieties grown in the mineral-rich soil that buried the city.

What to expect
Your driver collects you and takes you straight to Pompeii, where your guide meets you at the entrance. Expect two hours walking through remarkably intact streets, peering into homes, bakeries, and shops that reveal how Romans actually lived before 79 AD. The ruins feel less like a museum and more like a neighbourhood frozen in time. Afterwards, your driver ferries you up to a traditional winery tucked into Vesuvius's volcanic flanks. You'll stroll the vineyard terraces before sitting down to taste several local wines alongside a proper lunch of regional produce—nothing rushed, just good food and wine in a working winery setting.
Good to know
Skip-the-line tickets mean no queues at Pompeii's entrance. Wear comfortable walking shoes—the ancient streets are uneven. The winery lunch is included; wine tastings typically feature 3–4 local varieties. Pushchairs work fine for infants; infant car seats available on request.
