Your private journey begins with door-to-door pickup from your hotel in the Sorrento area. Sit back and relax as your English-speaking driver brings you comfortably to Pompeii, where your licensed private guide will greet you at the entrance of the archaeological site.

With priority access, you’ll bypass the lines and step straight into the past.

Walk the ancient stone streets still marked by chariot wheels and explore what fascinates you most — from lively public squares to lavish private homes. Your guide will personalize the route to match your interests, whether it’s art, architecture, politics, or daily life.

Along the way, you'll discover key landmarks like the Civil Forum, the Basilica, and the Temple of Jupiter, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Mt. Vesuvius. Visit the Macellum market and a beautifully preserved Bath complex, before delving into Pompeii’s more intimate corners — the frescoed Lupanare, the elegant House of the Faun, and the impressive Large Theater. The tour ends on a powerful note with the haunting plaster casts of Pompeii’s victims — a human connection to the tragedy that unfolded here nearly 2,000 years ago.

After bidding farewell to your guide, your driver will be waiting to take you to the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Your private vehicle brings you up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea level, where you’ll begin a scenic 1-mile hike (approx. 30–40 minutes) to the crater’s edge. The trail winds through volcanic rock and panoramic landscapes, ending with breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples.

Peer into the steaming crater and imagine the raw force that once reshaped an entire civilization. At the end of the hike, your driver will take you back to your hotel — with incredible memories in tow.
