Explore the Campania region of Italy by walking and sightseeing
One of the most exciting parts of Italy is Campania, and the Campania walking tour shows you the most incredible summits, shoreline, and cities of the region.
This tour begins with an astonishing exploration of Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano on mainland Europe. Learn about its historic past explosions before being whisked away to Ischia, where you’ll hike up to a lovely mountain cabin with farm-to-table lunch waiting for you.
You’ll climb the Path of the Gods from Bomerano to Nocelle, soaking in every inch of the panoramic view to the island of Capri.
Of course, this tour of Campania wouldn’t be complete without a tour of Naples, where you’ll walk the city streets admiring churches and villas before learning the art of pizza making from a local expert.
From sea to summit, the Campania walking tour is truly an unforgettable experience. Book today!
