This tour departs from Naples and covers the ruins of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius in a single day. At Pompeii, skip the ticket line with priority entry and spend 2 hours exploring Roman villas, ancient theaters, markets and temples with an expert archaeologist. In the afternoon, head up Mount Vesuvius and hike your booked route: either the crater rim trail or the Valley of Hell trail past lava caves. Round-trip transport from Naples is in an air-conditioned vehicle, and with the lunch option you can also enjoy a traditional Italian lunch from the Campania region.

Depart from a designated pickup point in Naples in an air-conditioned vehicle. During the drive, a local storytelling expert shares the history and myths of the region. The itinerary covers both the city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and the volcano itself.

Skip the ticket line with priority entry to the ruins of Pompeii. For about 2 hours, walk with an expert archaeologist guide through remarkably preserved Roman villas, ancient theaters, markets and temples, and hear stories of daily life frozen in time under volcanic ash.

With the lunch option, enjoy a traditional Italian lunch made with Campanian specialties for about 1 hour after visiting Pompeii. It is a chance to rest and recharge before the volcano hike.

Drive to Mount Vesuvius and spend about 2 hours there. On the Crater trail, walk up to the crater rim to look into the volcano, see fumaroles and take in 360-degree views over the Bay of Naples. On the Valley of Hell trail, walk across rugged volcanic terrain with a guide, exploring lava caves formed by past eruptions and the Valle dell'Inferno, part of an ancient volcanic structure. This trail does not include a visit to the summit crater.
After the tour, drive about 45 minutes back to a drop-off point in Naples.
※ The itinerary and departure times may change depending on local conditions.
※ No volcanologist guide accompanies the Crater trail option. At the crater, a park guide may give a free explanation depending on availability.
