National Geographic Traveler Tour of a lifetime 2010 National Geographic Traveler Tour of a lifetime 2010

We are really delighted that, for the third year running, one of Andante's Travels has been nominated as a "Tour of a Lifetime" by the National Geographic Traveler.

This year one of our most popular tours '' Pompeii, Herculaneum & Classical Campania  was chosen by the editors of the National Geographic as one of the most important and unforgettable of archaeological vacations.

You don’t have to be an archaeology buff to be fascinated by the stories of Pompeii. In the most popular of this specialty operator’s offerings, archaeologist guides provide access to the ruins away from the crowds and frame them in the context of the year A.D. 79, when Vesuvius erupted and all life in the area came to an abrupt halt. The trip culminates with an ascent of the volcano itself. Andante Travels: “Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Classical Campania,” 8 days, $2,090.
