The tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius is very exciting. The tour of Pompeii is amazing, the tour of Mount Vesuvius otherwise is a great excursion.
Try the experience of joining the visit of the most famous archaeological site in the world to the visit of a famous volcanoes too, Mount Vesuvius.
Mount Vesuvius was the cause of the destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD. That’s why these two places are closely related. When the volcano erupted in 79 AD Pompeii was covered till six meters of ash and volcanic material. It was a kind of volcanic current overwhelming the city. Herculaneum was destroyed as well.
During the tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius, after visiting Pompeii with its awesome monuments, we go to Mount Vesuvius. We can start with the tour of Pompeii or with Vesuvius as well. Usually we try to be well-informed about the traffic situation before moving. In a tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius you have me as guide and a private driver. That’s because the only way to go close by top of the volcano is by car or by bus. Pay attention: the only way to arrive to the crater is on foot. In fact, there is only a path for people to climb the last meters. Roughly you need twenty minutes to go up and twenty minutes to get back.
What about the tour of Vesuvius? It’s so exciting to climb this volcano. You can feel to stay on one of the most powerful natural places. This volcano is the landlord of all the area around. It makes all the area very fertile. On it the best grapes, vegetables and tomatoes grow every year. In fact this area was called “ happy land “ by the Romans. On the other hand the eruption of the volcano have terrorized the local people every time.
The climb of the volcano is a unique experience, especially when the weather is nice. In fact, climbing Vesuvius you can admire all the view of the bay of Naples below. I guarantee you that this is one of the most surprising views in the world. Finally, once you’re on the top admire the crater and look inside it to catch the power of nature. It’s really an incredible tour.
On the mountain you can distinguish a large variety of animals and plants. In fact Mount Vesuvius is a natural park since 1995.
Anyway, I have other interesting stories to tell you about the mountain.
We usually need not less than 6 hours to do the tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius.
