From Naples: Pompeii Ruins & Mount Vesuvius Guided Day Tour

Visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
in one day

The tour starts at the entrance of Starhotels Terminus on Piazza Garibaldi in Naples. You travel by air-conditioned bus with live commentary on board. Options that include Mount Vesuvius visit both Vesuvius and Pompeii, while the half-day options visit only the ruins of Pompeii without Vesuvius.

Climb up to the crater of Mount Vesuvius

First, head up to an altitude of about 1,000 m to admire the impressive Vesuvius crater and beautiful views over the Gulf of Naples. At the crater, a local guide gives you a short introduction to the volcano's history. The walk lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Have lunch at a local restaurant

After the walk, enjoy a lunch break of about 45 minutes at a local restaurant. The full-day tour option includes a lunch of pizza and a soft drink.

Walk through the ruins of Pompeii with a guide

In Pompeii, follow the paths of the archaeological site with a local guide for about 2 hours. In the city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, you'll see the Forum, the Lupanar, a thermopolium and the Stabian Baths, and hear the stories of the ancient city told through its baths, bakeries, theaters, frescoes and mosaics. After the visit, you return to the original meeting point where the tour ends.

※ If the Vesuvius crater is closed due to bad weather, a tasting of wine and local products on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius is offered instead.
※ The itinerary and order of visits may change depending on local conditions.
