Pompeii Archaeological Park
2 hours
You will visit the ruins of Pompeii for 2 hours with an official licensed guide (we will arrange an excellent one on your behalf). Every first Sunday of the month, entries into the excavations of Pompeii are free Pompeii was destroyed, and completely buried, during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in AD 79. The volcano collapsed higher roof-lines and buried Pompeii under 25 feet of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy.

AMAZING Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Experience!
2023-09-03
Best Sorrento car service

What a wonderful experience our driver, Daniel, provided to the Herculaneum and the Cantina del Vesuvio winery. He was informative and charming, and enriched our time as we peppered him with questions about life in Italy. He also allowed us to stop and buy a Napoli team flag, as we hoped to experience the team win the title that very afternoon. Tony was also very polite and very quick to reply to all questions. If we get back to the Napoli region again, we will definitely book with Iaccatino Sorrento Limousine Service.
Best service HANDS DOWN

If you are looking for the perfect way to get around while visiting the Almafi Coast... you found it! The owner Tony helped us directly with all of our schedules including airport service, Pompeii tour and a trip to Rome. Daniel our driver was AWESOME! So fun! If you must request him of you can. They were prompt and curious the entire time. The Mercedes Van was perfect.

We then visited Vesuvius winery for a fabulous taste testing and lunch. Tony was always gracious and knowledgeable as we toured through each location.
On a following day, Giovanni drove us to Amalfi and Ravello for an amazing tour of both towns. Giovanni was also very knowledgeable, but also very friendly and courteous. Tony was our driver and guide a day later for a tour of Positano where we had an amazing dinner at La Constantino, where the Manicotti was created, which Tony arranged for us. He was also able to fit in a wine and olive oil tasting before visiting Positano. Giovanni was then our driver the last day for our transfer to Naples airport.
I cannot leave enough positive comments about our trip and the experience with Tony and Iaccarino Sorrento Limousine Service and the entire staff! Aside from traveling in beautifully kept Mercedes vehicles and vans, the team were always punctual, courteous, extremely friendly with very warm dispositions, and full of knowledgeable insights every step of the way. We are already planning our next trip and will certainly be using Tony’s services. It’s amazing how his services made our trip that much more enjoyable! There are many visitors along the coast and transportation is not easy, so Iaccarino Services are a MUST! Be sure to request Lucio as your Pompeii guide. All are HIGHLY recommended!!
