Embark on an exclusive private journey into the heart of the Vesuvius National Park, where ancient history meets a modern commitment to sustainability. This eco-conscious tour will lead you through the hidden treasures of Herculaneum and Oplontis aboard our 100% electric vehicles (luxury sedan for up to 3 guests, premium van for 4 to 7 passengers), ensuring a silent, zero-emission travel experience.
Embark on a private tour designed for those who wish to discover the UNESCO heritage of Vesuvius while respecting the environment. Aboard a state-of-the-art electric vehicle, your journey will be silent, smooth, and zero-emission, in total harmony with the natural beauty of the National Park.
The tour begins with a private guided exploration of the domus of Herculaneum. Unlike Pompeii, the volcanic mud here preserved organic materials such as wood, food, and textiles. The focus will be on ancient construction techniques and how the climate and environment shaped Roman architecture.
Included: Skip-the-line ticket and expert guide.
A quick and silent transfer brings you to Oplontis to visit the majestic villa attributed to Nero's wife. We will admire the trompe-l'œil frescoes depicting lush gardens and local fauna—a 2,000-year-old artistic catalog of Mediterranean biodiversity.
Experience the rural heart of the tour. At this historic estate, you will enjoy a seasonal "Km 0" menu, where every ingredient comes directly from the volcanic garden. During lunch, the owners will share their philosophy of "heroic and sustainable agriculture," explaining how they preserve soil fertility without the use of harsh chemicals.
We come full circle at the "Man and Environment" Antiquarium. Here, we will observe artifacts of ancient agricultural life—from wine presses to carbonized plant remains—understanding how the ancient Romans had already developed a system of circular economy deeply tied to the land.
