From Naples: Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Guided Tour with Lunch and Cameo Workshop

Join a day tour from Naples
to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius

This guided tour leaves in the morning from the meeting point you choose in central Naples. An English-speaking tour leader stays with you all day, helping along the way and sharing local tips. The day combines priority entry and a guided tour of Pompeii, a light lunch and a hike on Mount Vesuvius, with transfers by bus and minibus.

Visit a cameo workshop

On the way to Pompeii, you first stop at a local cameo workshop that carries on a long Campania tradition. See the techniques the craftspeople use and how the pieces are made before continuing to Pompeii.

Walk through Pompeii with priority entry

At Pompeii, priority entry shortens your wait, and an archaeologist guide leads a tour of about 2 hours. You walk past the Forum, the market area and the thermal baths while learning about daily life in the Roman city buried under volcanic ash in 79 AD. Groups of fewer than 5 people receive an audio guide.

Hike Mount Vesuvius after lunch

After the visit, you have a light lunch at a nearby restaurant with a tasting of traditional Italian pizza and a first course. A scenic drive of about 30 minutes through the volcanic area takes you to Mount Vesuvius, where a mountain guide leads the hike and you can take in panoramic views of Naples, the nearby islands and the Bay of Naples. You return to Naples by minibus and are dropped off at one of the designated drop-off points.

※ In rain, fog or other bad weather, entry to Mount Vesuvius may be restricted or trails may close temporarily.
※ The tour may be run in two languages.
