Additional Information

Vesuvius is an active, heavily studied volcano in mainland Europe, noted as one of the most threatening due to its explosive nature and the nearby massive population. Its highest summit reaches 1,281 meters and it takes a moderate 20-25 minute uphill walk to get to the crater. Admission to the crater includes access to an on-site volcano guide. (2h) Pompeii, a significant archaeological treasure, was once a bustling and sophisticated Roman metropolis until it was engulfed in ash and volcanic debris from the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Continuous excavations keep the site dynamic, yielding fresh discoveries each year. It’s recommended to have a professional guide for an in-depth, relaxed tour of its notable structures. The guide, which is optional, helps avoid long lines at the ticket counter and is not part of the tour cost (2/3). Wrapping up the tour is Herculaneum, another city consumed under layers of ash, volcanic stone, and mud from Mount Vesuvius (1 / 2h).

Entrancing - An exceptional tour from Campania but now Milanese for 20 years, my English partner was enraptured by the objective beauties and the "carnality" of the character Vincenzo, an exquisite person, a citizen of the world... a Neapolitan mirror of Neapolitanism with an American and British experience.. .a combination of top marks....professionalism and humanity, a philosopher driver.....a lover of his land The Socrates of NCC.....chapeau!!! Thank you

Would recommend! - We were originally on the fence between booking a private transfer from Naples to Amalfi or taking a chain of ferries to sightsee the coast along the way. Take it from us — book a transfer with Amalfi Tour Campania! Andrea took us from Napoli Centrale to our hotel in Amalfi, and kept our exhaustion at bay with friendly conversation, local tips, and pointing out interesting landmarks. The next morning, Vincenzo picked us up right from our hotel and took us over the hills for a packed day of Pompeii, Vesuvius, and Herculano. He took care of booking our guide in Pompeii- Marinella was very knowledgeable, and we learned quite a bit while touring the ancient ruins. We got more than we bargained for with Vincenzo’s expert local recommendations for restaurants, desserts, and more. The drive time flew by with our entertaining conversations! We even canceled our ferries back in order to ride with Vincenzo again. A delightful experience - would recommend!
