Embark on a full-day exploration journey from Rome that encompasses the beauty of Naples and the historic city of Pompeii. Beginning the day with a pick-up from your Rome hotel, you will spend your day immersed in culture and nature in the vibrant city of Naples. Proceeding towards the Mergellina port, you will leave the city behind and head south to Mount Vesuvius, culminating at the town of Ercolano for a lunch stop. You will then venture to the eerie ruins of Pompeii and delve into the historical events of the disastrous day in 79 A.D. when Mount Vesuvius, the neighbouring volcano, erupted, smothering the thriving Roman city in lethal volcanic ash. It is advisable to wear comfortable footwear.
