Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius are the undisputed protagonists of the 79 AD eruption.

You will visit Pompeii in a small group tour led by an Archaeologist guide who will show you the best highlights of the site like the Forum – the main square of the city –, the main houses and buildings.

Then meet the hiking guide in the afternoon and leave with our minibus for up to 14 people with direction to Mount Vesuvius.

As arrive at Vesuvius entrance first 30 minutes up to the crater there's a steep walking to reach the top.

Hike the volcano and reach the top of it: look inside the still quiescent crater and wonder at the amazing landscape around you and the beautiful panorama overlooking the Bay of Naples.

We missed the first part of the tour in Pompeii due to our difficulties with public transit getting there. The second part in Herculaneum was fantastic. Vincenzo was a great guide!

The tour organizers were less than helpful. Our trip to Mount Vesuvius was cancelled the day before.

Our tour guide brought the story of Pompeii to life by giving details of some of the people who lived and died in some of the structures we saw. He also did a nice job of explaining various aspects of life in Pompeii and the purposes of various structures...a much richer experience than if we had explored on our own.
Action packed day

The tour guide for both Pompeii and Vesuvius were really friendly and knowledgeable. Both are stunning to see. Warning - the meeting place is not so easy to find from the train station. Allow yourself half an hour at the minimum
Great experience of Pompeii

Despite the weather (heavy rain) we had a memorable and very informative trip to Pompeii. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and a great communicator. Unfortunately, the Vesuvius tour had to be cancelled because of the weather, they closed the park, but we were offered an alternative or partial refund as we had booked Pompeii and Vesuvius together. Excellent communication from the company and would highly recommend.
