The itinerary
Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvius from Naples Port
Explore the most fascinating and ancient towns buried under millennia of ash and stone and then see the volcano that destroyed them. Meet your private professional English-speaking driver at your gate and start your voyage into ancient history.
Visit Pompeii and Herculaneum, Roman cities buried in 79 AC from the eruption of Vesuvius, one of the most famous active volcanoes in Europe. What destroyed the city is what preserved it through thousands of years.
Discover Pompeii
Get to see one of the most important archaeological and historical sites in the world and thus, also one of Italy’s most visited attractions. Walk ancient Roman streets trapped in time for centuries, see inside the homes and lives of ordinary people from Ancient Rome.
Visit the ‘house of the lovers’ that take the name from a painting inscription in Latin “Like bees, lovers lead a life as sweet as honey”.
Admire the imposing temples and public buildings like the Roman Amphitheater and the frescoes of Villa dei Misteri (Villa of Mysteries) an ancient building from 80-70 BC.
See Herculaneum
Discover the Roman town close to Pompeii that shared the same fate. Admire the unique atmosphere like stepping back in time: visit the taverns, gym and Roman baths of a smaller elegant society trapped under 25 meters (52 feet) of rock!
Seafront with a spectacular view over the Gulf of Naples, most of the houses here have 2 floors richly decorated with remains of wood furniture and utensils, precious jewels and coins.
Mount Vesuvius
Explore the depths of the volcano that destroyed the very cities it preserved. A hike in nature accompanied by a local guide up to the crater of the mountain trail.
Close to Pompeii and Herculaneum reach the crater of the Vesuvius, an active volcano just like the National Park around it full of farms and wineries that produce excellent products from this unique territory.
End your perfect day into history and nature on your tour to Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvius from Naples Port with a comfortable ride directly to your cruise terminal.

We had a great time visiting Herculaneum, Vesuvius and Pompeii. Our driver, Maurizio, was awesome and was so helpful with my elderly parents. We did not get guides for any of the locations, which I would recommend if you want more history and in depth discussion of the locations. Overall wonderful day
