Naples sits under the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius. This beautiful bay is also home to the Cathedral of San Janarious and the famous ruins of the Roman city of Pompeii and Heraculaneum.
Pompeii: Pompeii lay undisturbed for over 1,700 years. Up to 20,000 people lived in this thriving town before it was buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius under 20 feet of ash and pumice. Over the last 200 years Pompeii has been uncovered to reveal a remarkably well preserved city. Naples City Tour: We take our tour out of the city to the coastal road and some of the best views over the Gulf of Naples. We then travel to the Royal Palace, San Carl Opera House and the beautiful Piazza Municipio to view the Castel Nuovo a symbol of Naples.
