Vesuvius and Pompeii Daytrip from Amalfi Coast

Upon arrival at Pompeii, a licensed private guide from our team will join you. For about two hours the guide will lead you around the archeological area, bringing to life the history of this ancient Roman port city that met its brutal fate with Mount Vesuvius explosion in 79AD. For centuries, the town remained astonishingly preserved under layers of ash until excavations started in the 18th century.

Prepare to walk upon the same roads as the Romans once did, touch the smooth counter-tops of ancient shop remains, visit the small homes of average citizens and stand in awe at the still-colored frescoes and tiled mosaics that decorate the wealthy romans’ villas. From the forum, to hidden brothels and great ancient baths, your guide will piece together the daily life of Pompeii.

After your tour of the archeological city, you will enjoy the flavors of the region in a typical restaurant. After lunch, your private car will take you up to the epicenter of the volcanic blast – Mount Vesuvius. Looming over 4,000 feet over the modern city today, this is one of the world’s largest active volcanoes. Here you will have about an hour to explore this surreal territory. If you wish you may take a guided tour managed by the park guides to climb up to the enormous crater (since this will require more time check in advance with your driver).

After your visit to Mount Vesuvius, the tour will conclude as your private driver takes you back to your hotel on the Amalfi Coast (other drop-off points may be agreed).
