Description
You will visit the ruins of Pompeii for 2 hours with guide
Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried, during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Vesuvius which extended for two days in 79 AD. The volcano collapsed the tallest roof tiles and buried Pompeii under 25 feet of ash and pumice, and was lost for nearly 1700 years before its chance rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavations have provided extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire
You will visit the ruins of Herculaneum for 2 hour with guide
Herculaneum was founded by the Oschi, an Italic tribe of the eighth century BC, and later became part of the Etruscan and Samnite dominions. Under the control of the Romans, the city was a renowned seaside resort where some of the wealthiest Roman citizens spent their summer holidays
You will visit the Cantina del Vesuvio on the slopes of Mont Vesuvius and you will taste the food and wine specialties of the Campania region

The vehicles were impecable, the service top notch and the drivers always had the best attitude. They made sure that in every ride we visited and see the most beautiful places in Italy. I love using Amalfi Tour Guide and will always recommend them to all my family and friends.

Jose is amazing
Jose is amazing! He was kind and knowledgeable about the Napoli and Pompeii area. He responded quickly with all of my questions. Jose made our trip to Pompeii even more memorable. When we come back to the area we will book another trip with him. I will also be telling all of my friends and family members to reach out to him when they are in the area. Thank you Jose! You are awesome.

Herculaneum day trip and wine tour .
We had a great tour of Amalfi coast with our superb driver Jose’ . We were planning on returning on Friday back to Rome and Jose recommended doing the Herculaneum trip and wine tour.

Highly Recommend!!!
I can’t recommend this tour enough. We loved it and it was one of the highlights of our 4 week vacation in Italy.
First, Jose, our driver was fantastic. He was communicative, responsive, and very helpful in suggesting a customized tour that hit all the points we wanted. We needed up doing 2 hours in Mt. Vesuvius, lunch at a winery, and 2 hours in Pompeii with a guide. We had two vans (Mercedes) since there were 10 of us. We got picked up at Naples Train Station at 9am with all of our luggage and were able to do the half day tour and then were dropped off at our hotel in Positano. Jose (our driver) was very charismatic, informative and we just thought he was great. Our friends who were in the second vehicle also said the same about their driver. We liked them so much that we hired them for our return drive from Positano to Naples Airport. I highly recommend them and the guide they hired for Pompeii (she was phenominal and did great with the kids ages 10-13, as well as, the adults.

Our trip to Pompeii
This tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum was absolutely amazing. One of the best things to do while staying on Amalfi Coast. Our driver Jose’ was terrific as well as the vehicle he took us in. He was the perfect person to take us to these sites. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. His conversation made the day a lot of fun. Definitely use this company while touring Pompeii.
