What to expect

Enjoy vivid two-hour walking tours of both Herculaneum and Pompeii with a private guide and transportation. This tour consists of a marvellous walking tour with an archaeologist around the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Begin your journey in Herculaneum, a smaller but better-preserved site compared to Pompeii. An avalanche of mud 20 meters thick buried the city, which allows visitors to admire intact second stories, carbonized wooden objects, vivid paintings, and intricate mosaics. With your guide's explanation, the city will come to life, providing a unique glimpse into Roman daily life.

Next, move on to Pompeii, a sprawling city covered in five meters of ash. Walk its streets, which still feel alive, while your guide tells you about the history of the town and how the Romans lived. Discover the most important public buildings and private houses, experiencing the grandeur and tragedy of this ancient city.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Story of Pasta with Fusilli Making 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.

Nat Geo Day Tour: A Taste of Tramonti and pizza-making experience.

Discover the treasures of Tramonti on this National Geographic Day Tour. Kickstart your adventure with a scenic ride along the Bay of Naples, under the watchful eye of Mount Vesuvius, leading through Monte Latteri and Valle dei Chiunz, revealing Tramonti's hidden hamlets. Pizza's global popularity owes much to Tramonti's ancestors, who played a pivotal role in spreading pizzerias worldwide. As you coast along lush countryside, your National Geographic-trained guide will share captivating stories of local culture and history. Perched high above the Amalfi Coast, Tramonti treats visitors to lemon-scented orchards, chestnut trees, and terraced vineyards. Your first stop is the garden of Acarbio, a pioneering association advocating for the Amalfi Coast to become a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Here, you'll enjoy a refreshment and hear about ongoing projects, including the revival of the almost-extinct Rè Fiascone tomato, a key ingredient for pizza. It's truly inspiring to see this dynamic group in action, preserving the rural heritage and biodiversity of the Amalfi Coast, reviving local agriculture, and protecting endangered species. At your last stop, you'll dive into a pizza-making workshop at a local Agriturismo, led by a skilled pizza chef. As you master the art of traditional ‘Neapolitan' pizza, the president of the Tramonti Pizzaioli Association, a prominent group of around 2000 pizza chefs, discusses Tramonti's pizza legacy. Finally, savour your culinary creations during a delightful lunch.
