“This experience was excellent. The meeting point was really easy to find, we were handed our Vesuvius tickets and the minibus took us up Vesuvius in no time. We were told when we had to meet back. We were lucky that we got there early meaning we had slightly longer at Vesuvius. I’m not sure…”
A 6-hour Pompeii and Vesuvius combo: skip-the-line Pompeii with a licensed guide, then a scenic bus ride and crater views at Gran Cono.

Small-group Pompeii and Herculaneum tour led by an archaeologist. See frescoes, victims’ casts, wood, and the Roman everyday world.
“Benedetto, works as anarchaeologist and lives and breathes Pompeii and the Herculaneum. He shares his knowledge of both sites with humour and gave us time to ask questions. Nothing was difficult. His communication from the moment of booking this tour till the end was 1st class. He navigated our small group to avoid the crowds…”
