About this experience

Everyone has got his own needs. It's always a challenge to involve kids during a tour, to enhance their curiosity, stimulate their participation, proposing them funny activities and walking at their own pace.

We'll visit Pompeii: in the amphitheater we'll fight against the wild beasts, in the Theatres we'll play Plauto's comedies and nursery rhymes. We'll imagine to cook and eat Roman food and we'll explain the games children played at ancient times in the palestra. Finally we'll draw a nice picture in memory of our visit.

But the hike of Vesuvius, even if it might be tiring. . it's an experience they'll enjoy for sure! To stand on the top of the Volcano is a mix of fear and wonder. You'll walk on its red ground of iron, picking up its minerals.
