# Pompeii Guided Tour & Horse Riding on Vesuvius with Lunch

**Guidekin's take:** A guided small group walk through Pompeii with the ticket included, then lunch with Vesuvian wine in the vineyards and a horseback ride through the national park in groups of eight at most. Two per booking is the minimum, riders must be six or older and under a set weight, pickup only on the roundtrip options. 4.93 from 449 reviews for 7h.

In our comparison: #11 of 63 in Day Trips from Naples, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Treat yourself to a day packed with adventure, culture, and (of course) Italian wine. Start by exploring one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites — Pompeii — with a real local guide showing you the hidden gems of this ancient city.

Then, we’ll take you to a stunning location in the vineyards of Mount Vesuvius, where local food and Vesuvian wine await. After that, hop on horseback for a guided ride through Vesuvius National Park (500 meters above sea level), right by the very volcano that once stopped the ancient Romans in their tracks.

Please note: The horseback ride is at a slow pace, it's meant to spend time with animals and admire the views, it's not suitable for those who would like to galop/ride fast
