Private Vesuvius tours are the best way to see this incredible natural wonder.

Another popular option is a private tour of Herculaneum, a thriving Roman city buried by the volcano in the first century. This smaller, but more exclusive ancient city is located on Mount Vesuvius and was remarkably well preserved. While it was destroyed in the catastrophic eruption of 79 AD, many of its relics remain. Your guide will lead you through this ancient city in a half-day or so.

You will also be able to experience Pompeii's historic significance. This town was a popular holiday destination at the time of the eruption, and the ruins of Herculaneum are more beautifully preserved. You'll get to see the ancient mosaics and fresco paintings that were once found in these towns. In addition, you'll learn about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius itself. With so much history, you'll be impressed with the sheer scale of this ancient city.
