Pompeii and Vesuvius from Naples with an Archaeologist, a Mountain Guide and Lunch

Two guides, one day. At Pompeii the walking tour is led by an archaeologist and runs two hours; on Vesuvius a mountain guide covers the geology of the cone, with an hour and a half on the volcano. Skip-the-line admission is included at both sites, which on a day that pairs them matters more than usual: the queue at either gate can eat the time budgeted for the other. Inside Pompeii the two hours go to the Forum, the thermal baths and the frescoes left by the eruption of 79 AD. Lunch is local Italian, with a wine tasting as the alternative. The trail on Vesuvius climbs to the Great Cone, where the view takes in the whole Bay of Naples. Pick-up runs from several points in Naples, including Molo Beverello and Piazza Garibaldi, and the Stazione Marittima pick-up is for cruise passengers only.
