Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice from the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The site is constantly evolving thanks to continuous excavations that offer new discoveries every year. A professional private guide is highly recommended to be able to visit it in detail, relaxing in its most important structures.

Additional Information

Involve yourself in a magical journey through one of the most peculiar cities of the South, led by experienced guides who will render a profound insight into the cities and their monuments. Vesuvius stands as the only active volcano in continental Europe and is classified among the world’s most scrutinized and hazardous due to its high explosives and densely populated surroundings, the highest peak being 1,281 meters. A trail hike of roughly 20-25 minutes will lead you to the crater. The crater entrance fee includes the services of an internal volcano guide. Pompeii is a sprawling archaeological site; once a prosperous and advanced Roman city, it was engulfed by volcanic ash and pumice due to the devastating eruption back in 79 AD. The site is under continuous transformation due to persistent excavations, leading to annual new discoveries. The service of an adept professional guide is highly advised for a detailed and unwinding tour of its essential structures. The ‘skip the line’ guide service is optional and is not incorporated in the tour costing (2/3 Hrs)

Vincenzo is your guy in Napoli! First class treatment, wonderful experience. - Vincenzo was an amazing tour guide! He picked us up from the Naples airport, provided us with water and kept our bags safe while we toured Pompeii and hiked Vesuvius. He even let us stop in at a local restaurant in the Vesuvius area before driving us down to the Amalfi Coast. He was able to provide us with tons of information on the areas, give us suggestions on what to do and what to avoid. I would 100% recommend this tour and his services and will also be using him in the future if we come back to the area! Thank you so much Vincenzo for the wonderful experience :)

A private tour to Scampia, Pompeii and Vesuvius - Fantastic day spent with the always charming, always happy, always caring Enzo. Nothing was too much to ask, quality of local knowledge superb, communication brilliant. We asked for a slight detour to view the Scampia, where the series Gomorrah was filmed. Enzo took this in his stride, before taking us on to Pompeii and then Vesuvius. Stopping for a lovely lunch on the way. Highly recommend the private tour, and if your lucky, Enzo will be your guide.
