You’ll also get a guided tour of Herculaneum, a lesser-known but better-preserved archaeological site that may just surpass Pompeii.

Explore both the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum with a private guide
Take a roughly 1.5-hour hike through Vesuvius National Park to incredible views
Hassle-free pickup from your accommodations in the Sorrento area
Limited to just your group, you'll get a more personalized experience

We had a wonderful day! Both Tony and Rosemary (the guide) were excellent! Tony provided a lot of useful information about the area and Rosemary provided excellent tours. Visiting all three sites was a long day but really helped put everything into context.

Complete Tour: Mt Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum

Lisa_H, Jul 2022

Out of an entire 3 week vacation in Italy, this tour was the highlight of our trip. We had other tours but quite frankly it was the driver (Daniele) and guide (AnnaMarie) that made this tour! Daniele was extremely personable and easy to talk to about culture, economics, politics,etc. We learned a great deal from him and laughed loads. By the end of the day, this guy gave us family style hugs as we departed. We felt more like being in the company of an old friend. AnnaMarie was very knowledgeable about both historical sites and was able to keep up with my questions, with further elaboration. Great day of a mind, intellect, laughter, spirit and physical workout. Kudos to this great team! Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you so much Lisa for your feedback that is very helpful to let undertand our future clients the quality of the service that we offer to our guests. Best regards Tony
