How many times in your life will you be able to say that you walked through an almost perfectly preserved ancient city and then climbed up the volcano that destroyed it in the first place? We are guessing not too many, that’s why we offer this private tour from Positano to both Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius.
Pompeii is a rare and beautiful archeological site just south of Naples that was covered or basically frozen in time by 13–20 feet (4–6 meters) of ash and pumice by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Some say the eruptions was Julius Caesar’s revenge! If you are planning to see the most of the Amalfi Coast, then this archeological wonder should be at the top of your priority list.
Our expert tour guide will not only weave you through this ancient Roman city, but they will also take you up to the crater of Vesuvius. This angry volcano supposedly ejected ash more than 20 miles into the air, during the fateful eruption. You'll hear all about the volcano and what we know thanks to your volcanologist guide.

This trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius was wonderful! We definitely recommend the guides from the Tour Guide. The only drawback was that we would have liked more time in Pompeii, but we loved every minute of our tour.
