Overview

AmalfiDriver Tours & Transfers with Experience:
(Tickets not included)

Meet and greet everywhere in Naples or Salerno.
- to go on the Mt. Vesuvius Crater excursion for 1 hour and reach the "mouth of the volcano".
- After that, we will drive to the Herculaneum ruins* to see for 90 minutes and Pompeii Ruins* for 2 hours. Both ancient Roman towns were destroyed and buried under the ashes by Mt. Vesuvius eruption of 79a.d. and today, they represent a real evidence of how it was the original Roman culture, lifestyle and architecture: like a journey back in the past.
(During the day, we can also stop for a quick lunch, optionally)
- After that, we will drive back to the starting location.

*We highly recommend hiring a private guide who will lead you through the ruins for a better experience. If interested, ask in the note)
