Your journey includes comfortable coach transport, skip-the-line access to Vesuvius National Park, and a guided hike to the crater rim where you can peer into the active volcano that shaped the region's history.

The excursion combines geology, history and spectacular views across the Bay of Naples. Your guide shares insights about the 79 AD eruption, the volcano's ongoing activity, and the unique flora that grows on the volcanic slopes. From the crater rim, you'll see sweeping vistas of the bay, Capri, Ischia, and the Sorrento coast.
