Dit kun je verwachten

Ga mee op een onvergetelijk avontuur in Gragnano, het epicentrum van de productie van gedroogde pasta. De tour begint met een schilderachtige busrit langs de Baai van Napels, met een panoramisch uitzicht dat wordt gedomineerd door de aanwezigheid van de Vesuvius. Op deze dag vertelt je gids, die door National Geographic is getraind, boeiende verhalen over de cultuur van Campanië.

Je eerste bestemming is de idyllische Vallei van de Molens tussen Sorrento, Napels en de Amalfikust. Hier heb je het zeldzame voorrecht om de historische site samen met een lokale historicus en een gepensioneerde molenaar die zich inzet voor dit belangrijke restauratieproject te verkennen. Hij legt je in detail de ingenieuze techniek achter de aandrijving van de molens uit. Een fascinerende ervaring die exclusief is voorbehouden aan National Geographic reizigers. En tijdens een relaxte wandeling door dit weelderige landschap, maak je contact met de prachtige natuur die generaties heeft geïnspireerd.

De volgende stop is bij een gerenommeerde pastafabriek met diepgewortelde tradities. Je kijkt je ogen uit op de creativiteit van pastamaker Antonino Moccia en de 140 verschillende pastavormen van de fabriek, waarvan sommige gepatenteerd zijn. De eigenaar geeft je een persoonlijke rondleiding door het museum en vertelt je intieme verhalen over hoe deze industrie door de eeuwen heen vorm heeft gekregen.

Dan doe je je schort om en ga je backstage bij de productieruimte. Je ziet hoe de pasta stap voor stap wordt gemaakt en krijgt meer waardering voor het vakmanschap en de precisie waarmee elk stukje pasta wordt gemaakt. Ook ontdek je welke zorgvuldige verpakkingstechnieken ervoor zorgen dat het eindproduct in ongerepte staat bij huishoudens over de hele wereld terechtkomt. En als heerlijke afsluiting van je boeiende experience smul je van een bord gragnese pasta. Laat de rijke smaken en unieke textuur je meevoeren naar het hart van de Italiaanse culinaire traditie.

Nat Geo Day Tour: A Taste of Tramonti and pizza-making experience.

Discover the treasures of Tramonti on this National Geographic Day Tour. Kickstart your adventure with a scenic ride along the Bay of Naples, under the watchful eye of Mount Vesuvius, leading through Monte Latteri and Valle dei Chiunz, revealing Tramonti's hidden hamlets. Pizza's global popularity owes much to Tramonti's ancestors, who played a pivotal role in spreading pizzerias worldwide. As you coast along lush countryside, your National Geographic-trained guide will share captivating stories of local culture and history. Perched high above the Amalfi Coast, Tramonti treats visitors to lemon-scented orchards, chestnut trees, and terraced vineyards. Your first stop is the garden of Acarbio, a pioneering association advocating for the Amalfi Coast to become a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Here, you'll enjoy a refreshment and hear about ongoing projects, including the revival of the almost-extinct Rè Fiascone tomato, a key ingredient for pizza.

At your last stop, you'll dive into a pizza-making workshop at a local Agriturismo, led by a skilled pizza chef. As you master the art of traditional ‘Neapolitan' pizza, the president of the Tramonti Pizzaioli Association, a prominent group of around 2000 pizza chefs, discusses Tramonti's pizza legacy.

Excursions & day trips

Nat Geo Day Tour: Spartacus' World at Ancient Capua

Boasting a strategic location on the Via Appia, Ancient Capua was a hugely important city since its foundation in the 5th century BCE. Your journey begins at the Arena of Spartacus, the ancient amphitheater in Capua. Second in size only to Rome's Colosseum, this amphitheater is older, better preserved, and less crowded. Join your guide, a specialist in Roman archaeology, to tour the home of the Gladiator school of Ancient Rome where the legendary gladiator Spartacus made his daring escape and ignited his revolt against Roman slavery.Upon leaving the army, Spartacus was sold into slavery. He was ordered to go to Capua to enroll in Gladiator training school, where he rebelled against his enslavement and managed to escape alongside several other trainee gladiators. He became the leader of the growing group of escaped slaves who were ready to fight for freedom and autonomy. Against the odds, Spartacus and his rebel army resisted Roman attempts to overpower them, becoming a symbol of resistance against oppression.As you explore the amphitheater's ‘hypogeum' or underground area, you'll feel like you have a backstage pass to the gladiator shows of days past. The areas here are far better preserved than those found at the Colosseum of Rome. You'll then visit what is known as the 'gladiator's room,' off limits to other visitors. Still being studied, specialist archeologists are still trying to understand the room's original purpose.An augmented reality experience, exclusive to National Geographic travelers, will bring to life the experience of being Spartacus 2000 years ago, complete with reconstructions of the original amphitheater from the perspective of both the spectators and the gladiators. Step into the shoes of Spartacus, and feel the pulse of Ancient Rome.After your tour, relax over a lunch lovingly prepared with local organic produce by owners who take pride in maintaining their historic surroundings. The restaurant is conveniently located on the perimeter of the archeological site.

Attractions & guided tours

Nat Geo Day Tour: Rione Terra - Tales of Ancient History and Personal Redemption

Set off with your local guide from Naples to Pozzuoli, where you'll visit Rione Terra, the city's ancient core, recently resurrected from decades of abandonment following seismic activity. This area has undergone extensive restoration since 1993, unearthing historical treasures and reviving its legacy. Collaborating with the Puteoli Sacra project, your tour is enriched by guides who are reorienting their lives after incarceration, sharing local history but also their personal stories of redemption. Your exploration starts at the 17th-century baroque Cathedral of Pozzuoli, erected over the remnants of ancient temples, including a marble shrine to Augustus. Although ravaged by fire in 1964, the destruction also exposed these underlying historical layers, adding depth to your visit. Inside, marvel at works by Artemisia Gentileschi, a pioneering female artist of the Baroque period, known for her feminist undertones and exceptional life story in a male-dominated field. The next stop is the Diocesan Museum, safeguarding Rione Terra's art since the area's evacuation in the 1970s. The collection spans baroque masterpieces to sacred artifacts. Then venture underground to the Roman city of Puteoli, established in 194 B.C., where ancient streets and structures are unusually well preserved. Accompanied by your Puteoli Sacra guides, the tour ends with an aperitif in a private garden overlooking the sea or with tea indoors - depending on the weather - and a selection of Neapolitan nibbles.
