Private Tours for Cruisers
Where ancient history meets volcanic flavor—immerse yourself in the essence of Campania
Discover the ancient Roman world and the volcanic flavors of Mount Vesuvius in this private full-day experience. Perfect for guests arriving at Naples, Salerno, Sorrento, or Amalfi ports, this tour combines the exceptional archaeological site of Herculaneum with an authentic wine tasting lunch on the fertile slopes of Mount Vesuvius.
Herculaneum – 1.5–2 Hour Visit
Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up and drive to Herculaneum, one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in Italy.
Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under dense volcanic mud, which protected wooden furniture, doors, roofs, frescoes, mosaics, and everyday items for nearly 2,000 years.
Explore the ancient villas, public baths, luxurious homes, and waterfront boathouses that tell the story of this wealthy Roman seaside town.

Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mount Vesuvius
After your archaeological visit, continue to a family-operated winery located on the fertile slopes of Mount Vesuvius, overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento, and Capri.

Bruschetta with extra-virgin olive oil
Local salami & aged provolone
