Visit the ruins of ancient Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. and preserved almost intact for centuries. The tour will give you an insight into the way of life of its inhabitants and the surprising number of villas, shops and public buildings that archaeologists have unearthed. Stop along the way at a local factory to learn more about the process of making cameos and corals, jewelry made from corals and shells (weather permitting). After the visits, drive to the slopes of Vesuvius for a tasting of Mediterranean food and wines and a guided tour along the vineyards to learn more about Campania's Ars Vinearia (the art of making wine).
