Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

Smaller than Pompeii but in better condition because protected by a mudslide, Herculaneum was discovered in a completely random way, through the excavation of a well in 1709, during which marbles and statues that adorned the Teatro dell'antica came to light city. And thanks to the importance of the works found, such as mosaics, paintings, internal and external environments, the excavations of Herculaneum are one of the most prestigious monumental complexes of classical antiquity and you will admire and discover its treasures through a guided tour without equal.

Admission Not Included

Vesuvius National Park

Vesuvius is the only active volcano in continental Europe, as well as responsible for some of the largest volcanic eruptions on the continent. Although it has posed a threat in the past, it remains forever one of the cardinal symbols of Neapolitan history and culture. Going up to the top, along the way you will admire the works made entirely of volcanic material by artists from all over the world and once you reach the highest point, you will enjoy one of the most extraordinary scenarios in the entire Gulf of Naples, learning the history of that that the Neapolitan people call "Good Giant".

Admission Not Included

Pompeii Archaeological Park

You will visit the ruins, you will breathe the history, art and archeology of the most acclaimed open-air museum in the world. From the Temple of Apollo to the Baths, the House of the Faun, the Amphitheater ... Pompeii is waiting to be discovered, an unforgettable experience just like its history. The excavations dominate the center of modern Pompeii, and right there, a few steps from the past, you can visit one of the oldest coral factories in the city, admiring the masterpieces of local artisans, made according to ancient Greco-Roman traditions.

What a great relief to have selected this tour! Visiting Pompeii has been on my son’s bucket list for 5+ years! Then as we were planning our trip to Italy he commented he’d also like to go to Mt Vesuvius. Hiring a driver seemed the best way to go. Salvatore was assigned our trip and he was fantastic! A great communicator. He gave us historical information on the drives. He gave us prompt instructions for meeting times and locations for when we were done self-touring the diff stops of Pompeii, Mt Vesuvius and Herculaneum. Best of all (for me!) is he gave an amazing recommendation for a fantastic limoncello vendor and it DID NOT disappoint! It was EXACTLY what I’d hoped for so I could have some shipped back to the US. Herculaneum is much smaller- easy to do in about 1.5-2hr. Mt Vesuvius took about 25min climb to top from the top lot drop off point. Maybe a little further if you walk all the way to end point around the crater. So 1.5hr was fine for us. Our only wish was that we’d chosen to spend more time in Pompeii. We had no idea how big it was!! Our ticket entrance time to Mt Vesuvius was 1:30, which allowed us more time in Pompeii than expected (and so very needed!). The only suggestion I’d have is for us to be given some recommendations of which stops have the casts, otherwise we almost missed it. However, I don’t dock the company for this bc we didn’t hire a tour guide, we hired a driver and Salvatore was great! Easy to understand. Very accommodating. Had cold waters ready for us in an air-conditioned van. Took us to the top lot for drop off on the mtn. Gave a great recommendation for sandwiches since we wanted to have take away to spend more time at locations. Oh! And communication with the tour company was very helpful and with prompt replies leading up to our trip - guiding me where to purchase entry tickets in advance! Would highly recommend again and again to use this company!

We had the BEST day with Cesare! He didn't just drive us to the sites, he gave us color and historical background. He also gave us very good guidance on how to best work our way through the sites.

Giovanni our driver was very courteous and made sure we had plenty of time to do and see the things we wanted. He got us back to the ship in plenty of time. If we come back we would most definitely ask for him again!

Giovanni was terrific. Good English, knowledgeable, and flexible. He gave us great information and helped us find great guide at the last minute at Pompeii (Daniel). Made a long, exciting day relaxing and doable. The van was super comfortable for four people and clean.

Rita and Frank! THANK YOU! Rita is so knowledgeable with Napolis history and our tour wouldn’t have been the same without her pointing out so many amazing features and facts. Thanks again!

We had an very polite driver in clean and nice car. He explained what we saw during the trip and what to expect at the three locations we visited.

Graciela_G

The best part of our experience was our driver Aldo. Super nice and knowledgeable. Please read the small print. This was only transportation not a guided tour, We had to hire a guide in Pompeii and the audioguide in Herculaneum. Vesuvius was closed because the day before a railing had fallen,

The guide's enthusiam was infectious. It was a well-paced, two hour guided tour. The narrative behind the exhibit told a story of a long ago time which gave the antiquities context.

Francesca (guide) and Francesco (driver) were both excellent. Two things which dropped a 4 star experience to a 3 was that the private car was replaced by a minibus (and there were only 2 of us) and that the Vesuvius ticket site was malfunctioning which caused a delay waiting in the car park. What would make this a 5 star experience would be if the tickets were included and if the guide showed you around (she waited with the car).
