Pompeii, Vesuvius and Lacryma Christi Winery Tour from Sorrento or Naples by Minivan

The day ends among vines. After Pompeii and the walk up Vesuvius, the minivan drives along the side of the volcano to a winery that makes Lacryma Christi, where there is a vineyard to see and local wines to taste. Pickup and drop-off are at a hotel or port, from Sorrento or from Naples, in an air-conditioned minivan with a driver who also acts as guide.

At Pompeii a private local guide, who speaks the travelers' language, spends two hours explaining the eruption that ended Roman life in the city. Vesuvius is a winding trail to the crater, with the volcanic scenery of the area around it.

Two costs sit outside the price: the lunch and wine tasting, and the entrance tickets for Pompeii and Vesuvius National Park. Cruise passengers must give the ship name and the docking, disembarkation and re-boarding times when booking.
