Itinerary

Pompeii Archaeological Park

I study archaeology and I have been a guide in Pompeii for 27 years: I still cannot believe how advanced Romans were! You will be surprised by the size and at the amazing state of preservation of the archaeological site. We will visit the Forum, ancient public baths, private houses, taverns, shops, theatres, and more. We will admire fabulously preserved frescos and mosaics that adorn the walls and floors of the ancient houses. We will walk at your own pace and I will make sure that everyone in your group understands what he is looking at. We will stay away from crowds as much as possible. The itinerary is flexible and I shall adapt to your will and needs.

We will take a rest at a beautiful winery in the National Parl of Mt Vesuvius. Once on the bay of Naples, we will drive a bit on the Mt Vesuvius to reach this organic wine farm. It is a wonderful setting overlooking the Bay of Naples. There will be a short guided walk to the vineyard to discover this unique land and how they produce their “Lacryma Christi” wines. It is beautifully located and it is going to be a fun experience. Lunch consists of a pre-set menu: Appetizers: Bruschetta, ricotta cheese, olives, provolone cheese, salame and capocollo cured pork meat Main: Spaghetti with the cherry tomatoes “del Piennolo” from Mt Vesuvius Dessert: “Pastiera” - wheat and ricotta cake Along with lunch over 5 different wines will be served (Rosè Sparkling, White, Rosé. Red, Red Reserva, sweet Dessert Wine). The cost is € 28 per person that can be paid on the spot with a card or cash. There also is an upgraded version of the wines for the cost of € 35 per person.

1 hour 30 minutes
Vesuvius National Park

We are not going to climb up to the crater of Mount Vesuvius. We will visit a small organic wine farm. The farm lies within the National Park of Mount Vesuvius. It has wonderful views both on the Bay of Naples and on the volcano. We can take a short wine tour and have a delicious lunch. It is going to be fun and delicious! Do not miss this unforgettable experience!

2 hours
Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

The Ancient Roman city of Herculaneum was buried by Mount Vesuvius 2000 years ago and it came back to light during the last century. We will admire stunning views of the Volcano and of the Bay of Naples. We will learn what happened during that terrific eruption. We will visit ancient houses, Bath-Houses, little shops, taverns. We will enter the daily life of the average Roman. We will admire incredible frescoes and mosaics. We will be awe-stricken by the dreadful skeletons! We will walk approximately two hours to discover the archaeological park and the little museum. Herculaneum is more compact than Pompeii, better preserved, and easier to visit. It is going to be a pleasant walk away from the crowds of Pompeii. The itinerary is going to be tailored to your needs and requests.

Amazing Experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

Fabrizio was an amazing tour guide - I highly recommend him. He has a depth and breadth of knowledge that made the experience amazing. He was extremely accommodating to what we wanted to see and tailored the tour so that we could choose to do what was most important to us. If you are undecided about which tour to take for Pompeii and Ercolano, definitely do this one!!

Fun and knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable and fun guide! Learned a lot and saw great views. The wine tasting experience was fantastic, and the Pompeii tour was perfect for us.

A wonderful day in Pompeii and Herculaneum

Published on Nov, 2024

We spent a wonderful day in Pompeii and Herculaneum with a stop for lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio. Fabrizio was extremely knowledgeable and made sure that we had an enjoyable experience. We were initially supposed to go to Pompeii first, but he suggested we switch the order of our tours which turned out to be the best thing, as we practically had Herculaneum to ourselves. Lunch at the winery with wine tasting was delicious. Pompeii in the afternoon was a bit crowded, but we were able to tailor what we wanted to see. They were currently doing an excavation which we were able to observe which was extremely interesting -- from people using shovels and wheelbarrows to remove the pumice, to others using delicate brushes to remove dust. The frescos were amazing. I would highly recommend this tour and Fabrizio.
