Guilty of decimating Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79, Mt Vesuvius looms over the Bay of Naples like a beautiful, silent menace. Stopped in their tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Herculaneum and Pompeii offer the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like around 2,000 years ago.

A private tour of Pompei, Herculaneum and Vesuvius is a great way to do it, especially when one of the party doesn’t travel too well. We were picked up from our hotel and driven smoothly around by Antonio in a large comfortable vehicle for the day. At Pompei and Herculaneum we had an amazing guide, Alona, who was full of energy and shared so much interesting information about these incredible sites which should be on every bucket list. Finally, we climbed to the summit of Vesuvius where the incredible views into the crater and back down over the bay of Naples and over to Sorrento were well worth the hot climb up! A great day for the family and an amazing way to wrap up our Italian holiday, all expertly managed by Antonino who was sadly taken ill and unable to drive us, but quickly arranged cover so we didn’t miss out - communications ahead of our experience were excellent. Not a cheap tour but highly recommended.

Simply the best! Antonino was an amazing tour guide for our day trip while we were in Naples cruise port for the day. He managed our time well and we were able to see all the major sites we had hoped to see this trip. He was friendly, responsive and absolutely full of knowledge about all the history of the areas we visited. If I ever have the opportunity to be in this region again, A Drive into the Blue will certainly be a part of my plan! Thank you Antonino for your excellent tour with my family!
