Tours from Naples to Pompeii and Vesuvius

Mystery and adventure are well shaped in this exclusive Volcano Pompeii day tour. Combine a private guided tour of Pompeii haunting ruins with a drive up to Mt Vesuvius. Your private driver/guide accompanies you throughout the day. From the time he picks you up at your hotel, meet your private guide in Pompeii, take a ride up Mt Vesuvius and return back to your hotel. Learn curiosities, facts and stories of the devastating day that Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. From archaeological haunts to the legendary Mt Vesuvius this exclusive Volcano Pompeii day tour offers the opportunity to experience natural and cultural heritage sites in comfort and style.

Your exclusive Volcano Pompeii day tour begins with an approx. 30 minute drive (traffic pending) in the comfort of a private deluxe vehicle. During the journey your expert driver/guide provides running commentaries about the places you see and the venues you visit. Meet your local guide at the awe inspiring archaeological area of Pompeii. Enjoy a guided tour of Pompeii top sights. Learn about life in ancient Rome and how the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius created this amazing city frozen in time. Walk down the old Roman high streets just as the Romans did. On August 24th in 79 AD a massive volcanic eruption destroyed the city. Tons of lava instantly petrified the bodies of 2000 of its inhabitants. This natural preservation provides an intimate look into the Roman private life in ancient times. Today two thirds of the city has been excavated and the ruins of a flourishing civilization have been brought to life again. Because of the airtight conditions beneath the lava Pompeii is the most well-preserved ancient city in the world with streets and buildings providing detailed information of the living conditions of the Romans.

At the end of your guided tour say goodbye to your Pompeii guide. Travel towards the Mt Vesuvius, the famous volcano that earned its reputation from a series of deadly eruptions that culminated in the destruction of Pompeii. Your ride up Mt. Vesuvius National Park begins with the slow trip up the windy road up the hill until the parking lot to the crater. When you reach a level of about 3000 feet above sea level you come to the end of the road. To hike to the top of the Mt Vesuvius you must leave the vehicle behind here and take an approx. 30 minute upward hike of moderate difficulty to the crater edge which reaches approximately 3800 feet above sea level and another 25 minute back down. However, from the top the panoramic views over the Bay of Naples and fresh air are well worth the effort! At the end of your exclusive Volcano Pompeii day tour return back to your hotel.

TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for an experience we will never forget. Our Vatican tour guide was wonderful. We had 6 children, ages 8 and 15, and she captured their attention with just the right amount of detail. She selected a colorful local restaurant for lunch, which was also a hit with our group. She has wonderful English skills and is very knowledgeable in history and art. I travel a great deal and she is one of the best.

I came across Nancy Aiello Tours via CiaoBambino. Another family member was arranging tours, and having done this before, I was not comfortable with what I was reading in the tour he had selected. Many tours say children friendly which means they throw in a few items for the kids, but it is the usual adult tour. With 6 children I wanted a tour directed to them with the adults on the sidelines. Our guide gave us that, and the children were totally engaged. I would definitely recommend Nancy Aiello Tours to my family and friends.

Good morning! We had such a wonderful experience and are happy to share our thoughts about our time with Laura and Nancy Aiello Tours: We had an absolutely fabulous time with Laura. It was a highlight of our time in Rome. We love Laura! Her insights were essential and provided a really rich understanding to our group of what we were seeing. In addition to being so knowledgeable, she was incredibly fun, thoughtful, and a really wonderful person to spend time with! She tailored her presentations to our exact interests and provided so much more than we could have expected. She also gave us a recommendation to the best meal we had in Rome! Laura is the best; we were so lucky to have her! Without hesitation, we would recommend Nancy Aiello Tours to everyone, and highly recommend Laura. I read about Nancy Aiello Tours on Ciao Bambino’s web site. Thank you so much! And please tell Laura that we loved our time with her and really valued her expertise. She is fantastic!
Ciao!

We thoroughly enjoyed both of our tours. On Monday, we toured with Laura. She was engaging and informative. We all learned so much. We had a fun trivia game at lunch after the tour, and we were very impressed with how much information our 7 and 9 year old girls retained. Laura made it interesting and presented the information in a way that they could understand.
On Tuesday, we toured the Vatican and also had a great experience. Our guide was patient and full of interesting information. He also presented the tour in a way that the children could understand. He was very knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed our time with him. We would definitely recommend Nancy Aiello Tours for other families with children. We were very pleasantly surprised by the guides and how they interacted with our children on an age appropriate level. We saw the tours of people wearing headphones and were immediately relieved that we had fun, interactive, engaging private guides for our children and for ourselves. We found Nancy Aiello Tours first through a blog online about a father traveling with his son. I looked up “Seeing Rome with children”. We then researched your company and saw a lot of positive feedback. Thank you again!
