Walking tour with a private tour guide in the botanical gardens of Villa Taranto
The gardens of Villa Taranto in Verbania, between Intra and Pallanza, are known the world over for their great beauty and the huge number of plant species they contain.
The result of a labour of love on the part of the Scottish Captain McEacharn in 1931, the myriad of colours and scents the marvellously landscaped garden offers continues to enchant visitors from March to October.
From spring to autumn there are always flowers in bloom, with “special events” for certain species which are particularly spectacular in their season: the tulip week is in April, dahlias are at their best between July and October.
We will discover together this beautiful garden and we will focus on particular botanical species.
From Stresa, the gardens are reachable by boat: the shipping company “Navigazione Lago Maggiore” has a landing stage called “Villa Taranto” right in front of the Gardens entrance.

Pompeii and Vesuvius from Naples. Private activity
On August 24th of the year 79 AD, life flowed quietly on Vesuvius slopes. There were charming towns, inhabited by wealthy landowners and animated by merchants, shopkeepers and skilled artisans. The fire of Vesuvius froze that day for about two thousand years, under layers of volcanic material that gave back an open-air archaeological museum, thanks to the excavations started in the eighteenth century.
Today we retrace those places together, starting from the city of Pompeii, with its Domus, the streets, the market and the whole context of a civilization that has remained intact over the centuries. We will admire and touch with our hands what today is considered the most dangerous volcano in the world, the Vesuvius.
