All Inclusive Pompeii, Pizza Class & Olive Oil Experience

About this tour

This eight-hour tour combines archaeology, artisanal production, and hands-on cooking in the Bay of Naples. You'll spend two hours navigating Pompeii's volcanic ruins with a private guide, then travel to Sorrento's olive oil heartland to witness cold-press methods firsthand. The finale: rolling pizza dough under a chef's instruction, topping your disc, and firing it in a wood-burning oven before eating what you've made, paired with local wine and pudding.

What to expect

You'll start early at Pompeii, moving through preserved streets and homes with your private guide explaining daily Roman life amid the eruption's aftermath. After ninety minutes of walking, you'll head inland toward Sorrento, where the olive mill operator shows you how olives become oil—you'll taste several grades. By mid-afternoon, you're at the cooking venue, apron on, kneading dough. The pizza chef demonstrates technique, then steps back; expect some trial-and-error with shaping and oven timing. Your pizza emerges blistered and ready. Lunch happens there, communally or privately depending on group size.
