What to expect

Stroll through the ancient ruins of Pompeii and learn how first-century Romans lived. Then, enjoy a visit to Mount Vesuvius and take a light hike to its summit. This still-active volcano's violent eruption in 79 AD destroyed and buried Pompeii, once a thriving and sophisticated city.

Your first stop is Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you will enjoy a 2 hours visit to Pompeii's excavation site together with your official guide. It's a town frozen in time, buried deep under ash, pumice, and other debris until excavations started in 1748. View plaster cast representations showing detailed facial expressions and body positions of residents who didn't escape in time.

Next skip across stepping stones once used to cross flooded streets, and see signs in the road from ancient Roman carts. Highlights of this historic site include the Basilica, the Forum, the Temple of Jovis, the Macellum, Via dell' Abbondanza, Stabian Baths and much more like the well-preserved frescoes, mosaics and even ancient graffiti.

After the visit to Pompeii you can enjoy some free time for lunch.

Next, your coach will take you about 3,280 feet (1,000 m) up Mount Vesuvius. Today a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it is still one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes of Europe. If you choose so, you can take a short way to where a local guide awaits and stare into the crater's depths. From the summit, you can take in beautiful panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. After enjoying the remarkable vista, your coach will return you to your starting place.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Spartacus' World at Ancient Capua

Boasting a strategic location on the Via Appia, Ancient Capua was a hugely important city since its foundation in the 5th century BCE. Your journey begins at the Arena of Spartacus, the ancient amphitheater in Capua. Second in size only to Rome's Colosseum, this amphitheater is older, better preserved, and less crowded. Join your guide, a specialist in Roman archaeology, to tour the home of the Gladiator school of Ancient Rome where the legendary gladiator Spartacus made his daring escape and ignited his revolt against Roman slavery.Upon leaving the army, Spartacus was sold into slavery. He was ordered to go to Capua to enroll in Gladiator training school, where he rebelled against his enslavement and managed to escape alongside several other trainee gladiators. He became the leader of the growing group of escaped slaves who were ready to fight for freedom and autonomy. Against the odds, Spartacus and his rebel army resisted Roman attempts to overpower them, becoming a symbol of resistance against oppression.As you explore the amphitheater's ‘hypogeum' or underground area, you'll feel like you have a backstage pass to the gladiator shows of days past. The areas here are far better preserved than those found at the Colosseum of Rome. You'll then visit what is known as the 'gladiator's room,' off limits to other visitors. Still being studied, specialist archeologists are still trying to understand the room's original purpose.An augmented reality experience, exclusive to National Geographic travelers, will bring to life the experience of being Spartacus 2000 years ago, complete with reconstructions of the original amphitheater from the perspective of both the spectators and the gladiators. Step into the shoes of Spartacus, and feel the pulse of Ancient Rome.After your tour, relax over a lunch lovingly prepared with local organic produce by owners who take pride in maintaining their historic surroundings. The restaurant is conveniently located on the perimeter of the archeological site.
