Highlights
  • Vesuvius National Park - A symbol of Naples’ rich history, globally renowned for the catastrophic eruption in 79 AD that buried cities like Pompeii and Herculaneum under ash and pumice.

  • Visiting the crater of Vesuvius is an exhilarating and memorable experience that shouldn’t be missed. The hike is accessible to everyone, requiring no special trekking skills. The round trip spans nearly 4 km, with an elevation gain of about 140 meters and an average gradient of 14%, reaching a peak altitude of 1,170 meters above sea level.

  • You’ll have 1.5 hours to enjoy this scenic trek. If desired, I can arrange a guide for you (guide and ticket fees are not included in the tour).

  • Pompeii Archaeological Park - Pompeii stands as a crucial testament to Roman civilization, offering remarkable insights into ancient art, customs, crafts, and daily life. The city has been unearthed after centuries, preserved as it was when engulfed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, freezing a once-thriving Roman hub in time.

  • You’ll have 2 hours to explore the ruins of Pompeii. If desired, I can arrange a guide for you (guide and ticket fees are not included in the tour).

  • Bosco de Medici Winery - Between attractions, you can opt for lunch and a wine tasting at a charming restaurant near Pompeii, featuring stunning views of Mount Vesuvius, beautiful gardens, extensive vineyards, a horse riding stable, and a swimming pool. Adults can enjoy a tasting of local Vesuvius wines with their meal. A guided tour of the cellars and vineyards is available before or after lunch. The entire experience lasts about 2 hours. (TASTING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, MINIMUM VALUE €45)

  • If preferred, we can substitute the tasting with another lunch option or skip it to allow more time for other attractions.

Excellent tour with Emanuela - Quick and efficient booking at Sorrento Station by Lucia, and an excellent well informed and entertaining tour with the highly accomplished Emanuela. She took great care of the group and paced the 2 hour tour perfectly

Antonio, the best driver!! - Antonio picked my sister and myself up in Naples and drove us to our bed and breakfast in Praiano. Our flight got in late and we didn't feel comfortable figuring out public transportation that late at night as two girls traveling alone. It was perfect. Antonio communicated before our flight took off to ensure an easy pick-up (meeting place, timing, etc.). We texted when we landed and were taxiing, and found him in the airport no problem. We liked him so much we actually requested him for the return trip! During our drive at the beginning of the trip, Antonio explained he could arrange a lovely side trip to Pompeii for us on our return trip. Antonio picked us up from our bed and breakfast, and then drove us to the Pompeii ruins. After, he picked us up no problem at our designated meeting space. From there we went to a beautiful vineyard for a private tasting and three course meal. Our bags were kept in Antonio's car the entire time so we didn't have to worry about those during our excursions. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone! The driving alone is wonderful and easy and does not break the bank, but the excursions were timed perfectly and really added a lot to the end of our trip! Antonio was respectful, professional, and help excellent conversation. His English was nearly perfect. Request Antonio!!

Professional, courteous, on-time - Antonio met us off a cruise ship in Naples and took us to Pompeii for a tour, then on to a winery and then back to our ship. He was early when he met us at the port. His car was spotlessly clean, inside and out. We had complimentary bottles of water. He was a very courteous driver. While he transported us to the various places, he told us about his daily life in modern day Pompeii, which we found really interesting. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Antonio and his services. Thanks Antonio.

Professional, comfortable and classy - I used Pompeii transfer from Sorrento to Naples Centrale train station. Our driver Antonio was great. He was waiting for us at our pick up time and the car (a luxury sedan) was very clean and comfortable. We added stops at Pompeii, Bosco de' Medici winery and Mt Vesuvius. Antonio was fun and friendly and was always professional. He made sure we always knew how to get in touch with him and never made us feel rushed. We even ended up getting lost in Pompeii and arrived at the wrong exit, once I messaged Antonio to apologize for being at the wrong exit, he responded 'no problem, I'm on my way'. We had initially planned to take the train but this service was definitely worth it. We didnt have to worry about what to do with our luggage while we saw the sites, didnt have to figure out where to go and how to get to the next place. I highly recommend them!
