Pompeii & Food or Wine tours

Pompeii & Food or Wine tours

Let’s go on a day trip toward some of the most famous sites near Naples!  
I’ll pick up at 8.30 am at your accommodation and we’ll reach Pompeii or Herculaneum the famous Roman towns buried under the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.  Once at the ruins I will introduce you to your private Official Guide (licensed by the regional office of tourism) who will take you for a couple of hours through the ruins.

Pompeii is a bit like a labyrinth and with the guide, you can go back in time to touch the daily life of a typical 2000 year old Roman city without getting lost, and someone  answering all  your questions. He/she will explain how the houses had an essential decor and windowless design and breakfast was made with milk, honey and focaccia.

The habitants of Pompeii used loose comfortable clothes, wearing wide tunics and a toga wrapped around their bodies. The women dressed their hair with special tools and beautiful jewels matching their outfits. Pompeii was the political spot, the place for trade and for sure a place to  have fun. The daily life included restaurants, Water Spas to relax, and brothels. Brothels had “Love’s Menu” frescoed on the walls to facilitate the guests who visited Pompeii and didn’t speak the same language to choose their pleasure.

At the end of your private Pompeii or Herculaneum Tour we’ll reach the Oil Factory in Sant’Agnello (Sorrento) where you will discover the secrets of the Sorrento Olive Oil Industry , or the Pastificio Il Ducato di Amalfi in Gragnano, universally recognized as a “cradle of macaroni” for your Pasta Factory tour and lunch. Another option is the Wine Tour,  you can do it at Le Lune del Vesuvio next to Pompeii, a great place where you can enjoy an excellent wine watching your kids riding a horse, play in a grass or harvesting the grapes, or at Cantina del Vesuvio located at the foot of Mont Vesuvius where in a magic atmosphere you will indulge in lunch, visit the vineyards and enjoy your wine tasting.
