Naples (IT), Italy

5 to 6 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 2 more

This Phlegraean Fields tour is designed to be an authentic and relaxed experience, away from the most crowded tourist routes.

You will travel in a small group, by car, with a quiet pace that will allow you to enjoy each stop without haste. It's not a standard tour – along the way you'll discover little-known places, unique views and stories you'd be hard pressed to find on your own.

The experience combines nature, history and local life: from archaeological sites to volcanic landscapes, to moments of relaxation by the sea with lunch included and the opportunity to swim.

You will not be accompanied by a simple driver, but by a local person who shares the territory, stories and details that make this area so special.

A different way to experience Campi Flegrei, more authentic, personal and engaging.
