Enjoy a day trip from your accommodation in Rome to two of southern Italy's most fascinating places: Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius.
Herculaneum is rightfully considered better preserved that its bigger and more famous sister city, Pompeii, and unlike Pompeii, it can be explored entirely in a couple of hours.
After you've enjoyed Herculaneum, you'll have time for a nice Italian lunch, or a quick bite if you prefer, before heading up Mount Vesuvius.
Your private English speaking chauffeur will meet you at your accommodation in Rome at 8.00 AM and return you at 5:30 PM.
PLEASE NOTE Your driver is NOT a licensed tour guide.
This is as Tour By Car with only an English Speaking Driver (it does NOT include Tour Guides or Walking Tours).
To comply with italian strict laws, drivers are obliged to remain with the vehicle while guests sightsee on their own away from the vehicle. Driver will wait for you with the vehicle while you SELF TOUR.
