Itinerary
Pompeii is one of the most significant pieces of evidence of Roman civilization and provides exceptional information on the art, customs, crafts and daily life of the past. The city has re-emerged after centuries just as it would have been when it was buried in the layer of ash and lava from the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. In what had been one of the most active and splendid centers of Rome, life stopped definitively. - You will have 2 hours free to visit the ruins of Pompeii. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour)
By archaeological excavations of Oplontis we mean a series of archaeological finds belonging to the Pompeian suburban area of Oplontis, buried together with Pompeii and Herculaneum after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79: today the archaeological area is located in the center of the modern city of Torre Annunziata and includes an otium villa called «di Poppea» and a rustic villa «di Lucius Crassius Tertius». - You will have 1.5 hours free to walk through the ruins of Oplontis. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour)
The Roman city of Herculaneum, destroyed and buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, was brought back to the chronicles of history in the eighteenth century thanks to Bourbon explorations. - You will have 1.5 hours free to walk among the ruins of Herculaneum. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour) - Between one attraction and another, the customer can decide to stop for a typical lunch, in a beautiful restaurant near Pompeii, overlooking Mount Vesuvius. For adults, together with lunch you can have a tasting of typical Vesuvius wines. Afterwards everyone will be able to take a guided tour of the cellars and vineyards. The lunch with visit will last approximately 2 hours. - You will probably need to add extra hours if you add lunch, since it will take more than 8 hours, but we will decide this together. (TASTING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, MINIMUM VALUE €45) It can be replaced with another restaurant or eliminated.

Palma and his team were just what we needed to navigate our experience on the Amalfi Coast. We hired the drivers for several trips. The vans were always clean and well maintained. The drivers were always punctual, safe and very knowledgeable about the area. All were local residents who knew the best routes, restaurants, look out points and stories about the journey. Palma was easy to work with and sent the name of the driver and the driver’s contact information ahead of time so we knew who to meet where. I recommend using this team for your travels in the area as well as transportation to and from the airport. Overall excellent service and I do not recommend renting a car unless you are thoroughly familiar with the driving customs of the area. Hire and driver and enjoy the scenery!
As we always say, before drivers we like to be your friends and knowing that we are successful every day makes us so happy! Our first tip is to relax and enjoy the trip, we'll take care of everything else! Thank you, it was nice talking and traveling with you! we can't wait to see you again!
This tour was amazing! So much to do. Nello was our driver and arranged everything for us. He was so pleasant and helped so much. Would highly recommend!
Thank you! We are happy that you enjoyed your day! See you soon!
The tour was amazing! I would highly recommend. Palma was my contact and was so accommodating. Our cruise schedule changed and we were able to use the same booking. Our driver, Nello, was so great as well. He was so prompt and courteous. In addition to visiting the archaeological sites, we stopped for lunch at a local winery which was incredible. When we return to Italy, we will definitely use Palma and Nello!
Antonio was just fabulous. He looked after us and adapted the tour to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips on what to see and where to go to get the most from our visit. Strongly recommended.
We booked two day trips from Maiori to Naples area (Pompeii and Herculaneum) organized by Palma whose communications before and during the trips were outstanding. We changed our plans a couple times and Palma was very accommodating of our requests, even at relatively short notice on the second trip. Our driver Nello was delightful, offering many insights during our commute, stopping to take our photo from mountaintop views, etc.. He was on time, every time we stopped to visit our sights. Top notch agency to book your transfers with!
Palma is a great organizer, happily adjusting plans to accommodate our schedule. Nello is a wonderful driver / host offering lots of insights and suggestions along the way. Highly recommend Pompeii Transfer Car!
While our driver was very pleasant we didn't get anything out of this "tour". This should be retitled as a "private transfer service." If you're looking for a tour book something else. This was a private van service and nothing more. Not worth the money we spent. I did read the details and understood that the driver wouldn't be giving us tours of each location but the driver was mostly silent and didn't point out anything of interest along the way.
Wonderful to visit these sites. Also went to the archaeological museum to see the original artefacts. Nello was a careful and considerate driver who helped us make the most of our time
