Pompeii and Vesuvius: A Journey Through Time and Nature

Discover the Wonders of Pompeii and Vesuvius
Embark on a seamless journey to two of Italy's most iconic sites: the ancient ruins of Pompeii and the legendary Mount Vesuvius.

Start your day with a stress-free pick-up directly from your hotel or a location of your choice. Travel in comfort as our professional driver ensures a smooth experience. Begin your adventure in Pompeii, where you'll explore the remarkably preserved ruins of this ancient Roman city, buried under volcanic ash in 79 AD. Choose to wander freely, hire a private guide in advance, or rent audio guides on-site for a more immersive experience.

Next, ascend the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, the very volcano responsible for Pompeii's historic eruption. Get ready for an invigorating hike to the crater, where you can marvel at the slight volcanic activity and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, Capri, Ischia, and the Sorrento Peninsula.

This unforgettable tour combines history, adventure, and natural beauty—perfect for travelers eager to connect with Italy’s rich past and stunning landscapes.

Our private car service for all of our Amalfi Culinary Tours. Odilia and her team are the best and do a great job looking after every guest, staying on schedule and offer an insider's view of all the great stops. It's like being a local, not a tourist!

FIVE STARS
Lynda Walker

Odilia, picked me up in Naples and we drive to Positano. I had asked her for her card, should I need her services. I decided to call her for a tour of Sorrento. She showed me some of the highlights and later had lunch. She is very professional, knowledgeable of her country and a superior driver. I would definitely use her again. FIVE STARS
