Overview

Experience legendary Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius, the only active volcano in continental Europe, on this fully guided day trip from Naples. Visit Pompeii’s haunting ancient ruins, enjoy lunch with your group and then hike to the smoking summit of Mt Vesuvius for panoramic views of the Bay of Naples.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy

After pickup from your hotel or the Naples train station, take a 30-minute drive to Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was entirely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. The largest archaeological site in Europe, today Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

When you arrive, your guide will pick up your group’s pre-ordered tickets and lead you on a 2-hour walking tour of the fascinating grounds. Witness the destruction first-hand as you visit Pompeii’s most famous sites, including the Forum, the Thermal Baths, Vetti's House and the Lupanare brothel, giving you a glimpse into daily life during the Pax Romana. Today you can see shapes of objects — even bodies — that were buried beneath the volcanic ash and pumice.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Vesuvius National Park, Via Palazzo del Principe, 80044 Ottaviano Italy

After your tour, enjoy a pizza lunch with your group followed by some free time to browse the shops. Then board the coach and drive 40 minutes to legendary Mt Vesuvius.

Embark on a moderate hike up the volcano with your guide. When you reach the summit at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters), you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Peer down into the crater and see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano!

There is a rest point where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top, but the hike is worth the effort.

After your Mt Vesuvius hike, relax on the drive back to Naples in the early evening.

Duration: 1 hour

It was a good experience and a very knowledgeable guide. One could have used a bit more freetime both in pompeii and on versus

A great day out - guide at Pompeii was excellent - a real highlight. Despite the number of people visiting, everything ran really smoothly. So glad the rain stopped so we could visit the crater on Vesuvius without getting soaked!!

Pompei has been on my wife's "bucket list" since we were married -- nearly 42 years. We scheduled this trip 5 times during the pandemic -- and cancelled it 5 times. There was a reason for this -- and the reason was Elisa -- our tour guide for the 6th time! She is fantastic!!!! She is what every professional tour guide strives to be -- a subject expert, a mesmerizing story teller, and that person who you just want to sit down with and listen to for hours. From the moment we set off from the front gate, ubtil 2 hours later as we were exiting, she made you feel that you lived through the eruption of Vesuvius on October 24 79AD. And her anecdotes of the living conditions in that time and how they are relevant today, were great! Bravo to you, Elisa -- my wife cannot stop talking about you-- and thanking you -- for making her trip to Pompei a "highlight" of her life.
