We enjoyed the convenience of being picked up at the port by Clemente and Dominic. Our ride was comfortable. The guides were excellent with their explanations, personalities, and depth of knowledge. The restaurant food was average and only one bottle of water was provided on a extremely hot day.

The trip and transport was very well arranged, from booking and pick up,.we were kept very well informed. Our host Carmela and and our two guides Carmen and Anna were very knowledgeable friendly. Lunch was excellent too. An amazing day, and a nice small group. I don't think you could get better value for money. Totally recommend!

Full description

Accompanied by an expert local archaeologist guide, you'll be taken on a fascinating walking tour through the incredibly well-preserved streets, homes, and public spaces of the historic cities, uncovering the rich stories of their past.

As you journey back in time, you'll encounter the poignant remnants of Pompeii and the remarkably intact ruins of Herculaneum, both eternally preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Following your Pompeii tour, enjoy a traditional Italian light lunch to round off your experience.

This day trip combines history, archaeology, culture, and cuisine in a seamless way, offering a truly unforgettable adventure into the heart of ancient Italy.

The selection of visited buildings is determined each time by the guide based on the number of visitors, waiting times, and their opening hours.
