What to expect

Stroll through the ancient ruins of Pompeii and learn how first-century Romans lived. Then, enjoy a visit to Mount Vesuvius and take a light hike to its summit. This still-active volcano's violent eruption in 79 AD destroyed and buried Pompeii, once a thriving and sophisticated city.

Your first stop is Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you will enjoy a 2 hours visit to Pompeii's excavation site together with your official guide. It's a town frozen in time, buried deep under ash, pumice, and other debris until excavations started in 1748. View plaster cast representations showing detailed facial expressions and body positions of residents who didn't escape in time.

Next skip across stepping stones once used to cross flooded streets, and see signs in the road from ancient Roman carts. Highlights of this historic site include the Basilica, the Forum, the Temple of Jovis, the Macellum, Via dell' Abbondanza, Stabian Baths and much more like the well-preserved frescoes, mosaics and even ancient graffiti.

After the visit to Pompeii you can enjoy some free time for lunch.

Next, your coach will take you about 3,280 feet (1,000 m) up Mount Vesuvius. Today a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it is still one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes of Europe. If you choose so, you can take a short way to where a local guide awaits and stare into the crater's depths. From the summit, you can take in beautiful panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. After enjoying the remarkable vista, your coach will return you to your starting place.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Story of Pasta with Hands-On Cooking Class

Discover the essence of Gragnano on this National Geographic-exclusive pasta tour, starting with a scenic bus ride along the Bay of Naples, under the watchful eye of Mount Vesuvius. Your National Geographic-trained guide will give you an insight into Campanian culture as you sit back and soak up the views. The first stop is the Valley of the Mills, a picturesque ravine on the slopes between Sorrento, Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Here, a local volunteer historian and retired miller, dedicated to the restoration of the site, will reveal the fascinating engineering behind the series of mills, of which two will be exclusively opened for travelers on this tour. Enjoy a short walk before heading to Pasta Cuomo. Here, visit the factory and museum, then travel back in time to experience Gragnano's past through virtual reality. During your tour you will meet and learn about one of the oldest pasta making families of the area, a family ancestry that is partly responsible for pasta's transatlantic journey to the United States in the late 1800s. Then, it's time to roll up your sleeves and put your culinary skills to test at an interactive pasta-making session, with Nonna Giuseppina (grandma!) on hand to guide you as you knead and roll. Finally, indulge in a pasta lunch featuring ingredients sourced from the factory's garden, a true farm-to-table experience and a rewarding way to end the tour.
