What to expect

All aboard Sorrento's foodie train for three hours of the region's best countryside views and famous flavours. The whimsically retro blue and white trolley train trundles out from hilltop Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi to kick off your tasting tour.

The Desert Monastery is first up. It dates back to 1769 and gives it's resident Benedictine nuns, and you, some heavenly views of the Gulfs of Salerno and Naples, as well as Mount Vesuvius. Your next stop is Orto Ghezi to sample the spoils of a Mediterranean kitchen garden. You'll try honey and ‘limoncelle' apple jam here, before heading on to a stately home-come-organic farm, Palazzo Raja.

All sorts of delicacies are in store at this sprawling estate. Tour the lemon groves, then get stuck into a hands-on workshop to turn the fresh lemons into limoncello – and sip the zesty end result. You'll be treated to a wine-tasting, as well as fresh olive oil, tomatoes, olives and bread – all made on the estate. Plus, there's a mozzarella-making demo where you'll taste the freshly-made cheese.

History & Heritage

Nat Geo Day Tour - A Deep Dive into Ancient Roman Life: Pompeii & Oplontis

Begin with a short drive to the foothills of Mount Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient city preserved by volcanic eruption. Wander down cobblestone streets to the Forum, once the hub of Roman life. Follow ancient paths to grand spaces like the House of the Faun with its rich mosaics. Sit in the arena of the theater and study the colossal columns of the Basilica. You'll also visit areas of everyday life like the baths and taverns. Your final stop at this site will be Casa della Regina Carolina, one of the ancient city's largest homes located in an elite neighborhood near the Forum. Learn insights into the ongoing research started by National Geographic Explorer Caitlin Ellis Barret as you discover the house and the daily domestic activities of its wealthy inhabitants. After a light lunch, continue your journey to the port of Torre Annunziata, where you'll descend below street level to ancient Oplontis. As a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area and its two sprawling villas boast some of the best-preserved wall paintings of the Roman period. Your specialist archeological guide will offer historical, cultural and architectural context as you take in Oplontis' wonders. Once inhabited by the Roman elite, marvel at Pompeiian-style frescoes and mosaics, finished with deep azures, oranges, and sunny golds. The intricate use of colour and shading gives these paintings a three-dimensional feel, adding a lifelike quality to these ancient scenes.
