Herculaneum: The Hidden Treasure of the Ancient World Herculaneum, smaller than Pompeii, is an extraordinary archaeological site preserved by the volcanic mud from Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 AD. Discovered in 1709, the first excavations revealed stunning marble statues and decorations, leading to the uncovering of vibrant mosaics, frescoes, and remarkably intact buildings that showcase Roman grandeur. Explore the luxurious Villa of the Papyri with its ancient scrolls and the elegant House of the Deer, adorned with sculptures. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was engulfed by a pyroclastic surge, sealing and preserving the city in exceptional detail. This unique preservation offers a rare chance to walk through Roman streets, seeing bath complexes and market spaces as they once were. Join Di Sarno Car Service for an exclusive tour through history, art, and archaeology. Discover Herculaneum’s hidden gems and experience the intimate world of the ancient Romans in a way few places can offer
Mount Vesuvius: The Good Giant of Naples Vesuvius, the only active volcano in mainland Europe, stands as a majestic symbol over the Bay of Naples. Known for its 79 AD eruption that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, it’s affectionately called the ""Good Giant"" by locals, reflecting the bond between the mountain and its people. Climbing Vesuvius is a unique adventure. Along the trail, volcanic artworks showcase the creativity sparked by nature’s force. At the summit, the view is spectacular: the vast crater and sweeping vistas of the Gulf of Naples, the city, and distant islands. Standing on the crater’s rim, you can almost picture the ancient eruption's impact. Today, Vesuvius embodies resilience, inspiring visitors with its raw beauty and historical significance. Di Sarno Car Service invites you to experience the thrill of climbing this iconic volcano and take in one of Italy’s most breathtaking landscapes. A journey filled with history, adventure, and unforgettable views awaits.
Pompeii: A Journey Through Time Explore Pompeii, the world's most famous open-air museum, where daily life of the Roman Empire is frozen in time by Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 AD. Walk through preserved streets, visit the grand Temple of Apollo, the elegant Casa del Fauno, and the vast Amphitheater, one of the best-preserved of its kind. Marvel at the intricate mosaics, vivid frescoes, and detailed sculptures that bring ancient Rome to life. Each corner of Pompeii reveals stories of a world that thrived nearly two millennia ago, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts. Just beyond the ruins, discover the modern city’s traditional craftsmanship, including one of the oldest coral factories where artisans create exquisite pieces inspired by ancient Greek-Roman designs. Pompeii offers a journey through history, archaeology, and art. Embark on this unforgettable tour with Di Sarno Car Service, and let the past come alive before your eyes.

When booking this tour ensure that you understand the EXCLUSIONS as not all the entry fees are included. In addition, a tour guide at each site is NOT included. So basically you are only paying for the driver and vehicle take you to and from each site. Our driver was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. This tour should really be done in the cooler season as the sites are exposed to the weather.
Adi was awesome. Very knowledgeable.
Mary with Dis Arno was an awesome tour guide! Great food and great destinations!

Cesare was great but unfortunately the tour isn’t set up the best. You only have 2 hours inside Pompeii which is just not enough time. At Vesuvius there was only unappetizing looking sandwiches and at Hurculeum there was only vending machines so there was no opportunity to get lunch. The tour really needs to be longer to allow more time at Pompeii and then you would have time to get food there as well. Also I wish I was aware that we would not have a tour guide at any of the stops and just a driver. Vesuvius was fine to walk alone but it would have been helpful to have a tour guide especially in Pompeii. Also the tour did not include water like the description stated.
The sights were incredible, especially Pompeii and Herculem. Wish we had some time, especially in Pompeii! Took a ton of pictures, it was really a good time!! The driver Caesar was great, couldn't ask for a better driver!

Amazing sites with so much history. We had a great combination of history, local culture, a little shopping, and some amazing photographs and experiences. It was a little fast-paced to get all three in but the timeline was purely up to us. We wanted to see a lot and our driver accommodated us with no complaints at all. The guide, Angelo Rea, made this so memorable. Great suggestions and recommendations by Angelo that truly enhanced the trip.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring the Amalfi Coast and that Felice made the journey smooth and enjoyable, even along the winding coastal roads. It’s also great to know you appreciated his commentary along the way and were able to experience so many highlights in just one day. We fully agree—the boat ride is a wonderful addition and really enhances the experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future for another memorable tour. Best regards, Di Sarno Car Service
The driver was very helpful.. however, the tour is on foot and if you have problems walking or climbing, don’t try.. A lot of walking needed on uneven terrain.. no shade..
Ceasars was a great driver! We had a great experience with him for a good part of the day, so friendly, so informative, so pleasant. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a private tour.
Everything went wonderfully, the journey was without traffic, without delays, we were very happy.
Absolutely loved this trip, we had just the right amount of time in each location. Polly our tour guide was brilliant! as was our driver Giuseppe. Polly was very knowledgeable with regard to all the sites we visited, she took us right to where we had to go and was there waiting for us when we came out. Giuseppe had to negotiate some very tricky driving , especially up to Mt Vesuvius. I would highly recommend booking this trip with these guys!
