Hmm...we can’t seem to find this place. Please check the spelling, or choose another location.

This activity will end right where it started.Please insert your accommodation address in Naples (hotel, b&b, airbnb) in the "Special Requirements" section when booking, then call the local supplier the evening before your tour after 7PM to know your pick up time and if your pick up will be at your accommodation, nearby, or at our starting point.
Your guide will collect you from your hotel or train station to kick off this Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii day trip from Naples. Venture into the ancient Roman city of Pompeii on a half-hour coach ride and learn the history behind the area that was infamously covered by ash nearly 2000 years ago. 

Follow your guide on a walking tour of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed site and learn about Europe’s largest archeological grounds. Stop at the Forum, Thermal Baths, Vetti’s House and the Lupanare brothel. Your guide will offer historical context and insight into local life here back in 79 AD. Once you’ve explored the grounds, savor an Italian pizza lunch with your group before enjoying time to wander the shops.

Afterward, travel by air-conditioned coach to Mt Vesuvius and journey on a moderate hike to the top of the active volcano with your guide. At the summit, some 3,900 feet (1,200 meters) above sea level, take in panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. Roam around the volcano's mammoth crater and keep an eye out for plumes of escaping steam. If you prefer to skip the hike, you'll enjoy free time while waiting for the group, but the trip to the top is definitely worth the effort.

After successfully climbing the top of Mt Vesuvius, relax with a ride back to your Naples hotel or back to the port in your comfortable coach.
Itinerary
Stop At:  
Pompeii Archaeological Park
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.

Stop At:  
Vesuvius National Park
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.

Great day in Pompeii & hiking Vesuvius
Mandy_E
, Jul 2022
This was a fabulous way to visit Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius! All the hard work was done for us - all we had to do was show up and the rest was taken care of. There is a lot of walking that occurs on this excursion between Pompeii and if you choose to hike the crater of Vesuvius. But it's totally worth it! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and wear appropriate clothing to be walking/hiking most of the day. Lunch was in a super touristy area of Pompeii, but even tourist pizza is amazing pizza!

A great day, local pick up. Our guide for Pompeii was fabulous, she gave us lots of information and kept us entertained. Enjoyed the included lunch too before we visited Vesuvius, the walk was a bit hard going on some of us as it is steep but was 37°c , worth the trip though.

Mladen_S

Our tour was with a mini bus, which was a bonus for this trip. We had an excellent driver and a charming guide who shared a lot of interesting facts on both places. As climbing the Vesuvius on a hot and sunny day was challenging, we really needed some more time to go to the top, but even it was exhausting, the very on the top definitely worth it. We also wish we had spent more time in Pompei, but we need to leave something for our next visit.

This was a large group experience NOT minibus. Very punctual operation however the hike was way more than 20 minutes. Wear closed shoes because grit gets into sandals. No alcohol was served with lunch or lemonchello at the end. I wanted more info about Mt Vesuvius. It would have been nice to hear info while in the bus.

Glorified bus service. But, Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvis were worth seeing
Allison_W
, Jun 2022
This tour was more of a glorified shuttle service, which was disappointing given the price of this tour. I appreciated that the bus picked us up at the hotel, but the bus tour guide did not give any commentary on the ride to Pompeii or Mt. Vesuvius. We had to change buses multiple times, which was confusing. There were a lot of people and constant changing between groups, which made it harder to follow logistically. We were told that we would have a guide for Mt. Vesuvius, but we did not receive one. We also were told that we would be dropped off back at our hotel afterwards, but we were dropped off 15 minutes from our hotel and needed to walk back. The tour itself of Pompeii was great, and the guide spoke English and was very good. The lunch was fine: you could choose between lasagna, pizza, or salad. However, Pompeii and Mt. Vesuivus were both were visiting, and I’d recommend visiting them.

Expensive day out but enjoyable
Sophie_H
, Jun 2022
The team and transport of the day was very efficient albeit a few delays. The 2 hour Pompeii tour was very informative however quite busy. Lunch was average with a 30 minute delay for those ordering pizza due to how busy it was and the server was quite rude. The trip to Mt Vesuvius was good. Our driver was very skilled on the curvy roads up the mountain! The hike to the top was completely self guided. Overall good day out

Long day, be prepared
Nicole_L
, Jun 2022
Some of these reviews make me question if people listen. The tour was amazing. We were told 3 times in 4 different languages how the day would progress. Each step you were told a meeting time and place and they were ON TIME. If you missed a meet up it's because you weren't paying attention to the time. The only thing I would say is the hike up Vesuvius is very steep and on uneven rock so where appropriate shoes for hiking. And there is no AC. It is HOT! Prepare yourself and don't blame the company for your bad planning.

Dire experience on Viatour excursion.
John_K
, Jun 2022
Terrible experience. Incompetent staff left us unable to complete tour having to abandon trip to Vesuvius and having to find our own way back to Naples from Vesuvius. Bus was so late that if we had not abandoned the trip we would have missed our connection in Naples despite assurances in advance from the tour company that we could have both Pompeii and Vesuvius experiences in full and within a time scale that would have us back in Naples to our connection in time.

Good tour on a hot day
Tawny_S
, Jun 2022
My husband and I did this tour while we were in Naples for our honeymoon and it was good! We learned a lot about Pompeii. It was a really hot and busy day so I recommend bringing waters and snacks. They did feed us pizza and one drink at lunch after about 2 hours of walking around. We were supposed to go hike Mt. Vesuvius but it was brutally hot and we had enough sun for the day. They were willing to arrange us to go back home which was really nice. You do share a bus with another tour so the bus was hot and cramped unfortunately. We ended up going to sorrento with another group and they were happy to accommodate. Overall, a really great tour and we recommend!

Incredible trip if your up to the walk.
Gerald_w

Francesca and driver were fantastic. Hotel pickup was perfect. How they can drive around Naples so easily is incredible. Mt. Vesuvius is incredible. The hike, like anything similar is a lot. Path is dirt and gravel but was large enough to accommodate all the people. There are no bathrooms on the mountain, the shop at the base did have some but they are little more than an outhouse. Pompeii is huge. Again a lot of walking and a lot of history. Lucy was good, obviously very busy but they handled it well.

Good, but not great. Wasted too much time at the tacky shops outside the gates before and after the tour. Did not have time to visit the two nice museum shops. Pizza lunch was good, but chaotic in a hot restaurant. Vesuvius was challenging even though we are fit get aerobic exercise every day. Wear tennis shoes with excellent treads for traction. Trial has thick. loose soil with rocks. Get walking stick at the entrance to help keep you stable. Many people without sticks came close to slipping. In the summer (May) dress for hot, humid Pompei. Also, many people stopped at the second or third snack shack and did not finish the climb You do not need any kind of jacket or long pants at Vesuvius. Pick up and drop off very near our hotel.
