Highlighted reviews from other travelers
It was wonderful. I just hope we could have more time in Pompei.
Our day was amazing from start to finish! Our guide, Angela, was absolutely fantastic and shared so much of her knowledge of Rome, Naples and the history of Italy as a whole - we learnt a LOT! Our driver Julio was brilliant - I have a new respect for Italian drivers! The tour around Pompeii was great - our guide really helped us to visualise what life would have been like back then. We then had a wonderful lunch before heading up Vesuvius - what a view. Our eldest daughter already wanted to become an Ancient History professor but it has been confirmed now - she was totally inspired (as we all were). Thank you so much for a brilliant day.

Know before you go
- The hike up to the crater of Vesuvius is optional and requires a good level of general fitness to complete. The hike is uphill at a 14-degree angle and 20 minutes long (about 1 mile). The hike is prevalently on soft ground, and adequate footwear is recommended. For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, you can instead choose to enjoy a scenic and informative walking tour led by an expert geologist at Vesuvius.
- In rare cases of inclement weather or strikes, the crater of Vesuvius may be closed to visitors and an alternative visit to the city of Positano will be included instead where you will get free time to explore the city. Please note that the Lunch stop will not be included when going to Positano.
- Please be advised that in the case of events beyond our control, we may need to adjust our itinerary to ensure the safety, quality, and satisfaction of your travel experience.
