🗺️ The Itinerary
Meet at Bar Sgambati near Villa dei Misteri station for the 2-hour guided tour of Pompeii's main archaeological sites including the Forum, Baths, House of the Faun, and Lupanar. After the archaeological tour, take a 30-minute drive to a local Campania winery for wine and cheese tasting with antipasto lunch. Standing in the Forum with Mount Vesuvius visible beyond the ancient columns creates a direct connection between the volcano and the city it destroyed. Return journey takes 30 minutes back to the original meeting point in Pompeii. Total experience spans 6 hours with approximately 2 km of walking on ancient stone paths.
