Overview

Highlights include:

The ruined city of Pompeii
Mount Vesuvius

After having breakfast at your hotel in Naples or the Amalfi Coast, your driver will pick you up and take you to Pompeii where you will meet your local guide. You will have the opportunity to spend the morning exploring the site with your guide and learn about what life was like in this important trading town until AD79.

Your tour will take you to some of the most famous sites of the town, including the Forum, theaters, and amphitheater. You will get to see where people lived, worshipped and worked and learn what they were doing on the day of the eruption. Following the tour, you will have time for lunch. Your driver will be happy to recommend some great places to eat.

In the afternoon, your driver will take you up the side of the volcano, which dominates the skyline across the Bay of Naples. If you would like to visit the crater, you will need to walk the final part of the way with the volcano staff (€10 per person). It takes about 25 minutes to reach the crater, where you can see black smoke rising from within, a reminder that although 75 years have passed since the last eruption, Vesuvius is still active!

After the visit, your driver will take you safely back to your hotel.After having breakfast at your hotel in Naples or the Amalfi Coast, your driver will pick you up and take you to Pompeii where you will meet your local guide.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there,… Read More
