Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Private Tour

This exciting excursion will introduce you to the most popular places in the world - the ancient city of Pompeii and the volcano that destroyed it -Vesuvius. In ancient times, Pompeii was a rich Roman colony. During the eruption of 79 AD, the city was buried under 20-25 ft high of ash and pumice. The ruins are huge and thanks to my help you will be able to enjoy the highlights. I'll tell you stories, facts, anecdotes. I will lead you far from the beaten path discovering the hidden corners of the site that I knew after years of guiding, and admiring the best frescoes and mosaics. So that at the end of the experience you will say: Mammamia!! Our next stop is Mount Vesuvius. It's still active. It's 4000 ft high and we drive up to it's base. It's time for you to start the challenge to climb the crater…on foot. Climbing to the top takes apx 35 min at your pace. But your efforts will be more than paid by the impression that arises at the end of the route from where wonderful views of the Bay of Naples open up

I will pick you ap at the pre-established meeting location in Naples. After a 25 minutes drive between the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples we will reach Pompeii. A visit to Pompeii is an experience you will never forget. After the visit of Pompeii, you will drive to explore Vesuvius. On the way up to the Crater, if requested, stop on the slope of the Volcano to enjoy a lunch, overlooking the Bay. The route to the top of the volcano goes through a National Park of unusual beauty. Once reached the parking lot, at 3000 ft, you'll leave the car, and start climbing on your own ( I will be waiting for you at the entrance). Once on the top if you wish there are shared tours with the volcanological guides included in the price of the ticket. After the tour, a relaxing drive to your location in Naples.
