About this experience
When the fury of Vesuvius buried Pompeii and Herculaneum during the eruption of 79 AD, the two cities were in full splendor. Pompeii was a chaotic port town with a bustle of people from all over the place; Herculaneum a sumptuous Summer resort. I am a professional tour guide with a devastating passion for Archaeology and History. So this is definitely my Tour! Far from the crowds, we will explore Pompeii and Herculaneum walking into the foot-steps of their ancient citizens: an unscrupulous merchant, a lazy patrician, a powerful matron, a slave or an invincible gladiator. You will learn about their everyday life but also political and love intrigues. We'll admire amazing frescoes and mosaics and enter ancient taverns, bath-houses and "stinky" latrines. I will also be your driver. During our break, I softly drive you to a family-run farm on the slopes of Vesuvius for an incredible culinary experience based on local wine and genuine food. Relax, flavors and views.

What you'll see and do
Archaeological Park of Pompeii
Pompeii is a real time machine. Far from the crowds and the beaten path we will step back 2000 years to discover the largest archaeological site of the world. We will cross the city from the Ancient Walls to the Grand Theatre. I will show you the Forum, political and religious center of the Town, and all the administrative buildings surrounding it: The Basilica (Palace of Justice), the Temple of Apollo, the Macellum (fish, bread and meet market), the Temple of Jupiter and the Granaries. Here there are stored plaster casts of victims who died suffocated during the eruption. We will enter luxury Private Homes to discover their majestic gardens and to admire vibrant frescoes and sophisticated mosaics. We will explore Bath-Houses and ancient taverns, bakeries (Pistrinia) and Thermopolia (wine and food bars). I will introduce you about the everyday life of the ancient citizens and comment about their secrets, political and love intrigues. The tour is at your own pace and flexible.

This experience is designed to make you enjoy the local wines and a simple but very genuine and typical lunch. Our family-run organic Farm is located by the foot of Mt Vesuvius. From there the view of the Bay of Naples is spectacular.

During lunch, you will taste several wines.

Archeological Park of Herculaneum
Herculaneum was a luxury Roman resort when it was swallowed by Mount Vesuvius during the eruption of 79AD. Here the visit is mostly centered on the exploration of majestic Domus, ancient private homes with their intact gardens (House of the Deer). We will admire vivid frescoes (House of the Skeleton) and the best glass-pasta mosaics like the ones located into the House of Neptune and Amphitrite. A special focus will be about the differences from Pompeii site: the second floor of buildings, the sewer system and the presence of carbonized wood are just some samples. We will appreciate the elegance of the “female section” of the bath-house and walk into the pool of the ancient city gymnasium. Finally, I will take you to ancient city beach where the skeletons of 200 citizens who died during the eruption are crammed into the ancient yards. The tour is at your own pace and I am ready to answer to all your questions and curiosities.

Parco Nazionale Del Vesuvio
We will enjoy this tour in the shade of Mount Vesuvius. It is 4000 feet high and it takes too long driving up to the crater. But we can take spectacular pictures of it from the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Private day trip from Sorrento to Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Natalia was a great tour guide of Pompeii and Herculaneum for our party of (7) including teens. It was the hottest day and we are from Florida. We had a wine tasting lunch in between at an organic winery located on the side of Mt. Vesuvius. That was a pleasant surprise. If we had to do it again, doing both places in one day is not necessary. Pick Pompeii.

professional and knowledged guide
Our guide Guiseppe was extremely well informed and precise on the history of Pompei and Herculanum. We were very fortunate to have such a professional and knowledged person to show us around these two magnificent places. We highly recomend Guiseppe as a guide.

Fabulous experience!
Fabulous experience. We were fortunate to meet Giuseppe as a couple in 2024 for a tour of Pompeii and Amalfi coast. We so enjoyed our experience that we booked again for our family trip with our teen daughters back to Pompeii and then for the wine tasting as suggested by G who then took us to Ravello where this time we stayed. We had another great time. Highly recommend his services!

What a fantastic tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum!
What a fantastic tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum! I couldn’t thank our guide, Giuseppe, enough for making this experience absolutely unforgettable. There is so much to see in these ancient cities—such incredible pieces of history, and Giuseppe truly brought them to life. He guided us through the ruins with passion and expertise, painting vivid pictures of what life was like nearly 2,000 years ago. Not only is he a wealth of knowledge, but he is also an incredible teacher, listener, and guide. He answered every question with patience and genuine interest, making the tour feel personal and engaging. After exploring, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch and wine tasting at the beautiful Cantina Del Vesuvio Winery, which was the perfect way to reflect on everything we had just seen. It was a truly memorable day and one of the highlights of our two-week journey through southern Italy. If you have the opportunity to visit Pompeii, you would be very fortunate to have Giuseppe as your guide.
Response from the operator: My Dearest Keith, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful review. I’m truly grateful for your kind words. It was a joy for me guiding you through Pompeii and Herculaneum and sharing the stories of these extraordinary ancient cities. I’m delighted that you felt the history come to life and that the experience was both engaging and memorable for you. I’m also very happy you enjoyed the lunch and wine tasting at Cantina Del Vesuvio. This is the special way to recover energies after the visit of Pompeii and on the way to Herculaneum. Knowing that this was one of the highlights of your journey through southern Italy means so much to me. I hope our paths cross again in the future!

Great time in Rome and Amalfi!
We had such a wonderful time with Giuseppe! His communication leading up to the tour was great. We even made a last minute decision to skip Pompeii because we wanted to get off the beaten path. He was overly accommodating and took us on the perfect custom trip! He was so knowledgeable about all the places we visited and took us to some hidden gems we would have never otherwise seen. Would definitely recommend his tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Shannon, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you. I’m glad we could create a custom experience that felt special and off the beaten path. I really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again in the future! Arrivederci a presto Giuseppe

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.
How much does Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $659 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pompeii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pompeii is not rushed.
Is Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Pompeii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pompeii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pompeii and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Pompeii and Herculaneum with Wine Tasting - Full Tickets start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pompeii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pompeii?
+
On Outty we rank every Pompeii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Minivan Trip from Rome: Pompeii Tour & Lunch in Sorrento, Skip the Line Guided Tour of Pompeii Led by an Archaeologist, Explore Pompeii with an Archaeologist. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pompeii?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pompeii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
