Walking through the streets of ancient Pompeii you will feel like you are taking a dive into the past and reliving the social and economic life of the Romans thanks to the experience of the guide/archaeologist.
Afterwards you will be accompanied to a garden immersed in the Pompeian countryside where you will live a unique and fun experience. We will have a cooking lesson and show you how to cook a typical dish of our tradition all accompanied by a good wine and many convivial moments. You will feel, come home!

Highlight of our Family Cruise! What an extraordinary experience with Paolo and Sabrina and their family! We immediately felt at home and welcomed into their family. Their nephew Pasquale spoke fluent English which put my husband and my niece right at ease. They were so flexible when our port docking times changed and responded immediately the evening before our tour was scheduled. We were picked up at the port entrance and taken on a lovely tour of Napoli -- absolutely gorgeous! After a refreshing stop at Napoli's oldest cafe (with "un caffe' e sfogliatella), we journeyed to Pompeii (the new city) where we arrived at their gorgeous, lush Giardini Balistrieri. We were greeted with Prosecco (to toast my birthday) and some delicious appetizers with ingredients from their farm. We ALL enjoyed the cooking class -- Sabrina was so interesting in her explanation of the ingredients and the techniques. During our luncheon we were spoiled by huge plates of gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce cooked by Pasquale's mother Maria Rosaria ... and the dessert??? Amazing tiramisu. With such a lovely farm visit, we nearly forgot our main reason for visiting Pompeii which was to visit the old Pompeii ruins. That's where cousin Lello came in ... phenomenal guide who gave us such insight! We were driven back to the cruise ship with plenty of time, and full of exquisite memories. Paolo & Sabrina, we will be back!!! (and please send me that wine from Gragnano!)
