Experience

  • Visit Mount Vesuvius and gaze into the active volcano that once buried Pompeii under ash
Full description
Spend a fascinating and educational day visiting the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Explore these extremely well-preserved ancient towns and then drive to the top of the very volcano that destroyed them nearly 2,000 years ago, and yet rendered them eternal. This full-day tour provides a unique opportunity to experience how ancient Romans lived and admire the level of civic progress and artistic skills they had reached. After the fall of the Roman Empire such levels of achievement were not reached again until the 17th and 18th centuries. The route that takes you to the top of Mount Vesuvius passes through a national park of unusual beauty. See pine forests, lush wooded areas, bright yellow flowers, and an uncanny volcanic landscape. You’ll have spectacular views of the Bay of Naples as well.

Excellent day, if there are 6-8 people in your party I would highly recommend this tour as cost is approx £900. The driver was waiting for us 30mins early in a lovely Mercedes minibus, travelled to Pompeii where we met our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and spoke great English. Pompeii is huge and we spent about 3hrs there where he showed and explained soo much about it and I suspect would be lost in a large group. On to Herculaneum for a similar experience then up to Vesuvius to be dropped off close to the entrance, spent approx 90mins walking up/down with the driver pulling into the carpark as we came down. As mentioned above it is an expensive day and you could join other trips of 20-30 people in a group but the personal touch this trip gave was worth the extra £30-£40 it probably cost us each.

The tour of Pompei and Herculaneum was excellent despite the torrential rain and flooding that prevented us from going to Mt. Vesuvius. I am hoping to get a refund for that portion of the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did not let the foul weather dampen her mood. There was confusion regarding the pick up time. The email said pickup at 8:00 and when they didn't show we called them abd they said they changed the pickup to 9:00 am. After several phone calls they finally picked us up at close to 9:45. That was a very poor way to start a really good tour.

Everything was fantastic. Car was cool and comfortable, the driver was wonderful and Raphael, the guide, was absolutely amazing. I learned so much. It was challenging to find a small tour that went to all 3 locations in one day. Highly recommend this tour. It’s worth the cost.
