Your driver and your private english speaking guide will meet you at the hotel ready to guide you all day long through the most significant archeolocical and naturalistic site of the Naples Bay, Pompeii, Herculaneum and, after lunch a glimpse on the top of the Natural Park of the Mount Vesuvius, the most famous volcano of the world ( sill active ).
After your Pompeii guide tour, you will go to Herculaneum, also destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. This magnificent Roman town was a holiday resort for the Roman rich. You will admire its wonderful houses with impressive frescoes and mosaics.
While Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii, its buildings are much better preserved. After your private guided tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum, you will have lunch time recharge the batteries for the trip up Mt. Vesuvius.
Your guided tour of Mt. Vesuvius begins with the slow trip up the windy road up the hill until the parking lot to the crater. You must leave the car behind here and take a 30-minute hike of moderate difficulty to the top, which reaches nearly 4,200 feet. The views and fresh air here are well worth the effort. Return back to the parking lot and drive back to the hotel.
