Additional Information

Vesuvius is one of Europe’s active volcanoes located on the mainland. It’s among the most examined and dangerous globally owing to its large population and explosive nature, with its highest point reaching 1,281 meters. A 20-25 minute climb allows you to reach the thousand-meter-high crater above sea level. A stop at the Cantine del Vesuvio provides a tasting of local wines, coupled with lunch not covered in the tour’s pricing. Pompeii is an expansive archaeological site, earlier a prosperous and advanced Roman city, it succumbed to ash and pumice layers due to the disastrous eruption in 79 AD. The site progresses constantly with ongoing digs that result in new findings each year. To optimally explore its key structures, it is highly suggested to hire a professional guide. The guide, obtainable on request, will help you bypass the long ticket queues and is not part of the tour’s cost.

Outstanding! - A first class experience visiting Pompeii, Herculaneum and a local winery. Our guide Marinella was knowledgeable and informative. Our driver Vincenzo was the best! He took care of every detail from start to finish and was a delight sharing his knowledge of the region. Highly recommend!

Worth every penny - The whole tour was fantastic. Sylvio was a great guy. Showed us his town and got us everywhere we needed to be. Pompeii guide knew her stuff and super friendly. Top it off with a visit to a winery on Vesuvius and then a hike up the volcano. Excellent all around. Made my sons trip

More than just a Driver - When my wife and I looked at the possible transfers from Rome to Amalfi, it was easy to choose the train to Napoli. The question was how to get to Amalfi from the Napoli Train Station. The AmalfiTourCampania was perfect fit to get us to Amalfi smoothly and easily. Giovanni was an excellent drive and a pleasant host for the ride to Amalfi. For our return trip back to the Napoli train station, it was a bit harder -- we had to check out at 10 am, but our train to Rome was not until 3 pm. So with that gap - we trusted ATC to handle the trip back. They set up a last minute wine tour and wine tasting, and then a short tour of Mount Vesuvius. Our professional and knowlegeable driver for this leg - Pasquale - suggested that we should spend more time on each, but unfortunately our time was limited. We realized afterward that Pasquale was right - so next time we will spend more time touring these hidden gems of experiences. You can choose any car service out there, but I will tell my friends traveling in Campania to use AmalfiTourCampania. You won't be disappointed.

Really fun tour! - This was one of my favorite tours of the entire Greece/Italy trip! The driver, Daniela, was very nice and got us around very well! He also provided plenty of water, which was much needed. Simone, our guide for Pompeii, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as he led us around the city, often avoiding the most crowded parts (as much as he could, but it was hella busy). I loved seeing Pompeii, and how well preserved the houses were in particular. Very interesting! I think my favorite part of the tour was the vineyard wine tasting and lunch. The vineyard was beautiful, the wine was delicious, and the lunch was excellent as well! Especially the charcuterie portion. We ended up ordering several bottles of wine to ship home! We also really enjoyed hiking up Mt. Vesuvius. It was a pretty intense uphill climb, but the view was amazing from up top. All in all, a great day, well put together and well run!

Premium Private Tour of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius! - My wife and I had an unforgettable experience touring Pompeii and Vesuvius. Vincenzo arrived to pick us up early and took us everywhere we needed to go and even waited on us as we toured Pompeii and the winery. We were set up with an amazing tour guide for Pompeii, which was fascinating and an incredible experience. We then went to a winery on Mount Vesuvius and got a little tour of their vineyards and facilities, and a chance to try all of their wines. The best part was the lunch on their rooftop terrace. We even ordered several bottles of wine and olive oil to ship home to family as gifts, which they handled for us. We had the option at that point to climb Mount Vesuvius and see the caldera, but my wife and I were both a little tired and not to mention wine buzzed and full of delicious pasta, so we just had Vincenzo take us home, which he was happy to oblige. This is a personal, private tour so you can totally make it yours. It is a bit pricy to go this route, but you get what you pay for and the service was premium and top notch. I made the mistake earlier this trip of trying to go our own way on a different tour and ended up lost with my wife very upset with me lol. This was very easy and enjoyable throughout the whole day, which after coming all the way from the USA to see and experience everything was worth it. Thank you very much Vincenzo, Miguela, and the Cantina del Vesuvio winery. We had an amazing day!

Book this tour! Vincenzo was great! - Vincenzo arranged a wonderful day for myself, my son, and his fiancé, all at the last minute. He was able to arrange for us to get tickets to hike Mt. Vesuvius when we weren’t able to get them ourselves. He was polite and knowledgeable and clearly loves Naples. He was prompt for all portions of the day and managed our schedules with our guide at Pompeii when the wine tasting/lunch ran a little long (that was a lovely meal!). Vincenzo ensured we had a very engaging guide in Pompeii and he even offered to drive through Naples so we could follow him to be sure we got on the right highway. Vincenzo went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing day! Grazie mille, Vincenzo!!

Best tour guide we had in two weeks in Italy - This was a fantastic tour. I was a little reserved at first, but Vincenzo made everything super easy and smooth. He coordinated and communicated well and tailored everything for us. It was extremely nice to just get out of the awesome car and walk smoothly to the event. We had plenty of time to do everything and then we would calmly walk out and there he was waiting with bottled water and eager to know what we thought. Definitely book the archaeological guide.
