Volcano & Ruins: visit Mt. Vesuvius, Herculaneum and Pompeii tour

Meet and greet is available at any location in Naples or Salerno. The tour begins with a drive to Mt Vesuvius for a one hour crater excursion where you can reach the mouth of the volcano. Afterward, continue to Herculaneum ruins to explore for ninety minutes and then visit Pompeii ruins for two hours. Both ancient Roman towns were destroyed and buried under volcanic ash in seventy nine A.D. and today provide a vivid glimpse into Roman culture, lifestyle, and architecture. During the day there is an optional stop for a quick lunch before returning to the starting location. Hiring a private guide for the ruins is highly recommended for a richer experience and can be arranged upon request.

The tour includes air conditioned transportation, bottled water, Wi Fi, and an English speaking driver. Mt Vesuvius crater tickets are not included and must be purchased online in advance. Entrance tickets for Herculaneum and Pompeii are also not included. This tour is suitable for infants with provided seats but is not wheelchair accessible. Strollers and prams are allowed, and pets can join if kept in their kennel. The itinerary may change due to natural causes or political events such as strikes or protests. Participants should note that this tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back problems.
