- Explore the ancient city with us, its ruins and take a trip back in time.
Meet us at the ticket office of Porta Marina Superiore.
Our archaeological journey starts from the real roman gate, Porta Marina, with a stunning view over the Mt. Vesuvius, our active volcano.
We love to show the real archaeological facts, for this reason we can't miss a visit to the stunning BATH HOUSE (recently opened!).
Then we will pass through the Basilica, the Forum with the market and the main Temples of Apollo, Jupiter and Isis talking about the connection with MOZART...we will walk through the Decumanus major (Main street of Pompeii) where we can find the famous LUPANARE (Uh-Uh)!
We will explore some of the most beautiful DOMUS (houses such as the the Faun, Efebo, Sirico etc) and in particular the richest Domus where the restorations were made by my Professor: house with an amazing garden, wall paintings and mosaics.
During the tour we have the chance to visit, with great respect, the BODIES frozen in time (Plaster Casts)...
- At the end of the guided tour of the ruins of Pompeii, one of Wine Family's van (For FREE) will wait for you at the exit of the excavations and will take you to a place of another time: a vineyard at the foot of Vesuvius!
In this company you will discover the viticulture techniques adopted by over three generations of wine masters and you will appreciate the properties of one of the oldest wines in the Mediterranean: the Lacryma Christi of Vesuvius.
The cultivation is completely organic using technological innovation without neglecting tradition.
At the end of the visit in the vineyard you can relax enjoying typical products at km0 such as tomato bruschetta, cheeses, bread and Bio Oil, a nice plate of bronze-drawn spaghetti seasoned with the famous Piennolo tomato, sweet all accompanied by different types of wines!
