- Pompeii Archaeological Park - One of the most important archaeological site in the World, Pompeii is like a city frozen in time. The dramatic eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 A.D., destroyed this flourishing city but also preserved a slice of Ancient Roman life. Your will walk down Roman streets and snoop around millennia-old houses, temples, shops, cafes, amphitheatres, and even a brothel.
- Parco Acheologico di Ercolano - Allegedly founded by Hercules, a lot of travellers prefer Herculaneum to Pompeii as it is much smaller and better preserved. This ancient site is one of the few places in the world that can be seen in almost its original conditions, because a deep layer of hot mud buried it deeply, preserving everything beneath. You will find thousands of everyday objects, from price lists outside the shops, to beds, doors and even food.
- Vesuvius National Park - The only active Volcano on mainland Europe will capture you with its unmatched views of the area from the top.
The cone stays roughly 4200 feet high, but however far you will venture up you will be able to see the entire gulf of Naples, from Sorrento to Capo Miseno, to Procida & Ischia.
Take the opportunity to trek up to the top and peer into its enormous crater!

A great experience! - Very accommodating and helpful with our plans for the day! Definitely recommend.
We made a few adjustments to have a group of 14 together in a larger van, visit Herculaneum together then split (some to a winery and some to Mt Vesuvius) then again together for Pompeii. They were great with communicating and very helpful to make our day great!

A Dream Come True! - Seeing Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast has always been one of my dreams, and this trip was nothing short of spectacular! Vinny, our tour guide and driver, was exceptional. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, but he also made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time—especially as he navigated the winding roads of the Amalfi Coast with ease. Vinny was so accommodating, making stops along the way so we could stretch our legs, shop, take pictures, and enjoy the breathtaking views. He even arranged a lovely lunch for us before we headed to Pompeii.
In Pompeii, we were met by another amazing guide, Rossi, who was both passionate and deeply knowledgeable about the ruins. Although we were a bit late for our scheduled tour, he skillfully adjusted the itinerary to ensure we saw all the key sites while also being incredibly patient and kind in helping my elderly mom navigate the uneven terrain.
We booked three private tours and a transfer with Joe Banana, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. My mom still talks about it being one of the best trips of her life! Maria from Joe Banana, who helped us arrange everything, was exceptional. She was consistently professional, always quick to respond to our questions, and checked in to ensure everything was going perfectly.
We will definitely be back and use Joe Banana again for future trips. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

Enough scrolling...book this private tour! - This private tour was outstanding! We realized that we had not booked our attraction tickets, WHICH YOU MUST DO!, and the company, Joe Banana, jumped in to assist us and saved our day! Our driver, Catello, (request him if you can!) was fantastic! He adjusted our itinerary throughout the day, even securing a last minute private guide for Pompeii, Paolo, who was fantastic! Catello asked if we wanted to eat at a restaurant or grab food and go to the next destination. We preferred to sit down and he took us to the perfect spot! A restaurant with a terrace that had great food and service! This was worth every penny. Spend the extra and book this private day. You will not be disappointed!

Stop searching! Book this tour! - This day could not have been more perfect! Our driver, Catello, was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and made our enjoyment his only priority. We hadn’t secured the tickets well in advance, which you must do, but the company, Anna and Marie with Joe Banana, quickly helped us secure tickets the day before, and our day was saved. While on tour, Catello took us to a perfect local restaurant overlooking a lemon farm at the base of Vesuvius. He was even able to make some magic and found a terrific guide, Pierpaolo, to guide us thru Pompeii! Our day was ideal! We could not have asked for a better team to customize our experience. Book this with confidence!

Great Experience & thanks you made our tour and logistics super easy - We had a great tour, and we were super lucky to have our driver, Catello Buonocore, who was amazing and had everything organised and was super friendly and knowledgeable; we arrived in Naples on the plane, did the tours and ended up in Positano at the end, of the day as a transfer/tour. Joe Banana were super easy to communicate with, clear on their pricing and always available if needed. Highly recommended and thanks for the amazing memories

So much history - Too many things to see. How to do it all? Ask for an added private tour guide and they can make it happen! Tailored the tour to our needs and was a volume of information!!!! Bring bug spray, water and sunscreen and enjoy all that history as to offer. The hike is steep up Vesuvius but go slow and take your time. It’s worth it!
