About this tour
Spend eight hours moving between two of southern Italy's essential stops: Pompeii's archaeological site and Naples' street-food scene. An archaeologist leads a two-hour walk through the buried Roman city, explaining how Vesuvius preserved daily life in ash. Afterwards, a local guide takes your group through Naples' markets and laneways, stopping at pizzerias, pastry shops, and food stalls where you'll buy and eat alongside residents. Groups stay under 20 people, ensuring you're not herded but genuinely shown around.

What to expect
The morning focuses on Pompeii's archaeological layers. Your guide unpacks how eruption ash sealed homes, shops, and streets—you'll see carbonised beams, graffiti, and domestic objects that make Roman life tangible rather than abstract. The pace is steady but manageable; wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
After lunch (on your own budget, around €20 per person), you move to Naples for a walking food tour. Expect narrow streets, small family-run establishments, and the guide pointing out why locals favour certain vendors. You'll stand eating, move between spots, and absorb how Neapolitans integrate food into everyday rhythm.
