Your day will begin with a visit in the Pompeii ruins, skipping the line into the site. Guided by an archaeologist, you’ll discover excavations and the secrets behind them that only an expert knows. During the tour, you’ll see the history of the town and how the Romans used to live. You will enter in their domus (ancient houses) and public buildings, creating an understanding of how they lived daily life.
Finish the tour and you’ll continue your adventure in the Vesuvius National Park, where you’ll experience being close to nature, far from the city noise, surrounded by the sound of birds. Once you arrive at the ranch after a morning of walking, you’ll have time to relax and have a proper lunch made all by local products with homemade local wine! Then we will saddle up and jump on the horse to receive a little training. Once your comfortable, we will venture off into the park, taking in the sights, sounds and fresh scents of the land.
The ride is suitable both for beginners and experts - we will be there to help you! You will receive a training and you'll be guided throughout this exciting excursion.

We had such an amazing day! It was absolutely perfect. Lorenzo and the team were brill! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and showed us some super interesting parts of Pompeii. The wine tour and lunch were brill - both wine and food were absolutely delish! And then the horse riding was so much fun. Great to see Vesuvius from horse back - really special.
Cannot recommend this day highly enough!

Definitely book this!! I booked this as a solo traveller, and I can’t recommend this enough to anyone who is in the area. I had the most wonderful day - the wine tasting and horseback riding was amazing. I’m not the most confident rider, and the horses were very calm - no experience needed. A lot of my tour were first time riders, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our day. Clear instructions were given by the host right from the beginning. The wine tasting was delicious - and plenty of food to go around. Everyone I met on this experience couldn’t have been more accommodating. Unfortunately, I had a very untimely train delay which meant I missed the Pompeii ruins, however Guiseppe was happy to ensure I got the most of the rest of the trip - and I was able to rearrange the ruins. I’m extremely grateful for this, they all really went out of their way for me. Special thanks to also Lorenzo, who was our driver, and everyone else involved in making this day so special. Pompeii Ruins, wine tasting in Italy, and a vineyard horseback tour? With a view of Mount Vesuvius Volcano? That is 3 bucket list items in just a day! Will definitely be recommending to any of my friends/family who may visit this special area of Italy. Book the trip everyone!!

This tour was absolutely incredible. I was blown away by the views, knowledge of the guides, and taste of the wines. This experience was worth every penny and I would book it again! Make sure you read all the info about the tour prior to booking as you have to purchase tickets for the Pompei ruins ahead of time. They include this information in the description just make sure you read it all! Very helpful with telling you how to navigate the train and what stop to get off as well as where to meet them!

All of our guides Analize, Lorenzo, Giuseppe couldn’t be friendlier or more helpful. Our guide whose name I forgot during the trail ride was also super friendly. The whole day was full of great information and just a great memorable experience we will remember the rest of our lives. My expectations were very much exceeded.

An unforgettable journey through Pompeii and beyond! Theresa guided us expertly through the ancient ruins, offering rich historical insights and captivating anecdotes that brought the city back to life. Lorenzo, our skilled driver, seamlessly navigated us to our next destinations, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. But it was Alexandra who truly stole the show, exceeding all expectations with her personalized horse riding experience through the vineyards. Her attention to detail and passion for adventure made it a once-in-a-lifetime activity. Together, they made our tour an extraordinary and unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended!

We had planned for a Pompeii tour, horseback riding, and wine tasting, but the weather did not cooperate. Giuseppe was phenomenal and contacted us right away with the suggestion of an additional wine tasting because we could not ride the horses. Although we were disappointed, we understood and all appreciated the redirection and help with the change in plans. Giuseppe was very responsive and arranged an excellent driver to pick us up at our air bnb. Dino shared interesting history and information along our ride. He helped us store our luggage and get our tour tickets. Our Pompeii tour guide, Kiera (I think) was fabulous. She is extremely knowledgeable and was excited to share with us and show us around. After the tour of the breathtaking ruins, another driver, Lorenzo, met us to take us to the two wine tastings. The tastings were generous and paired with delicious breads, meats, and pasta. We all had a great time and easily purchased multiple bottles to ship home. The service and staff at both vineyards were professional, skilled, and helpful. Lorenzo was incredibly kind and arranged to drive us on to a train station several towns away. He shared insights, history, and information about the region and it’s people. His passion and love for Italy is significant! We appreciate his flexibility, thoughtfulness, friendship, and service. From start to finish, our day, even with the change of plans, could not have been better! The activities and staff were all wonderful. I would absolutely enjoy working and visiting with this team again!

We had the best afternoon horseback riding through the vineyard. Our guide was fantastic. Pointing out facts about Mt Vesuvius and the the surrounding land. The horses were gentle and in beautiful condition.

This was one of the highlights of our vacation! Our guide at the ruins was so knowledgeable and she went at a perfect pace. The horseback riding was so amazing, and the guide even let me go around the arena on my own for a little bit at the end which made my heart so happy!! The vineyard was beautiful, delicious lunch and tasting. We would’ve shipped wine home to Canada if we could.

This was a fantastic tour. Our driver for the most part was Lorenzo who was very entertaining. Our tour guide in Pompeii was Vivianna who was very knowledgeable. Pompeii is fascinating and a guide is a must to get the whole experience. Following this, we went horseback riding through beautiful vineyards at the base of Vesuvius. Undoubtedly the highlight of the day, made all the more unexpectedly unique by the fact that it was just myself and my friend on this part of the tour. No issues if you’re a first time rider like my friend was, Giuseppe was very good at making her feel at ease. The horses themselves are wonderful. Finally, the winery stop was nice. It’s a small winery so the tour is very brief, 6 wines were tasted in total, 2 white, one rosé and 2 red, along with a dessert wine at the end. We were also treated to some of their olive oil and wine vinegar, which was delicious. This is all served alongside a pleasant lunch on the terrace overlooking the vineyard, which is beautiful. I can’t recommend this tour enough! Loved it.
