Tour description
The tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Sorrento, where your driver will greet you and start the scenic drive to Herculaneum. Upon arrival, you’ll have two hours to explore the ancient archaeological site at your own pace. You can wander through the remarkably preserved ruins of this ancient Roman city, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. While a tour guide is optional, you'll have the freedom to explore the site at your leisure, discovering its streets, houses, baths, and mosaics.
After your visit to Herculaneum, you’ll enjoy a stop for lunch, where you can relax and enjoy some local cuisine before heading up to the next adventure.
Next, your driver will take you to Mount Vesuvius, where a bus will take you up to 1,000 meters on the mountain. From there, you'll embark on a walk to the summit, where you’ll be able to take in panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples and the surrounding areas. Once at the top, a guide will lead you around the crater, providing fascinating insights into the volcano’s history and geological features.
After your visit to the summit, you’ll have free time to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Whether you choose to take photos, simply relax, or explore the area, the mountain-top experience is a memorable highlight of the tour.
Finally, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Sorrento, concluding a day full of exploration, history, and breathtaking scenery. This private taxi tour offers a perfect blend of culture, adventure, and relaxation, with a comfortable and personalized experience from start to finish.
