Pompeii Guided Tour & Horse Riding on Vesuvius with Lunch
Description
Treat yourself to a day packed with adventure, culture, and (of course) Italian wine. Start by exploring one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites — Pompeii — with a real local guide showing you the hidden gems of this ancient city. Then, we’ll take you to a stunning location in the vineyards of Mount Vesuvius, where local food and Vesuvian wine await. After that, hop on horseback for a guided ride through Vesuvius National Park (500 meters above sea level), right by the very volcano that once stopped the ancient Romans in their tracks. Please note: The horseback ride is at a slow pace, it's meant to spend time with animals and admire the views, it's not suitable for those who would like to galop/ride fast

Itinerary
Your day will begin with a visit in the Pompeii ruins, skipping the line into the site. Guided by an archaeologist, you’ll discover excavations and the secrets behind them that only an expert knows. During the tour, you’ll see the history of the town and how the Romans used to live. You will enter in their domus (ancient houses) and public buildings, creating an understanding of how they lived daily life.
Finish the tour and you’ll continue your adventure in the Vesuvius National Park, where you’ll experience being close to nature, far from the city noise, surrounded by the sound of birds. Once you arrive at the ranch after a morning of walking, you’ll have time to relax and have a proper lunch made all by local products with homemade local wine! Then we will saddle up and jump on the horse to receive a little training. Once your comfortable, we will venture off into the park, taking in the sights, sounds and fresh scents of the land. The ride is suitable both for beginners and experts - we will be there to help you! You will receive a training and you'll be guided throughout this exciting excursion.
Get ready to jump on a horse and ride through a beautiful vineyard into the National Park of Mount Vesuvius. Please mind: we'll be around 400/500 meters high above sea level!
