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.

Faultless tour of Pompei

5.00The guide for Pompei was absolutely perfect - knowledgeable, interesting, passionate, friendly and with a fabulous sense of humour. Almost certainly the best guide I have experienced with any company for many years. The second half of the day sadly didn’t quite work as well. The guide was well meaning, but lacking in warmth, difficult to hear/understand (especially in the bus to Vesuvius where no-one could hear her at all!), and she wasted a huge amount of time waiting for some of the party who were late. Kind thing for her to do, but wasting 30 minutes of time of the people who arrived on time is not acceptable.
