Leave Naples by minibus and visit three places forever changed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD — Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum and Pompeii — in a single day. Climb the Great Cone of Vesuvius to look out over the area affected by the eruption, then walk through the ruins of Herculaneum, where volcanic ash preserved houses and even decorations. Finally, explore the amphitheater and the Forum of the Pompeii Archaeological Site at your own pace with an audio guide and map. Priority entry tickets for all three sites are included, so you can skip the ticket lines.
Travel in a comfortable minibus from Naples (or Pompeii) and visit the three sites in turn. You explore each site freely without a live guide, and at Herculaneum and Pompeii you can listen to an audio guide. Priority entry tickets for all three sites are included to save you time.
First, drive about 40 minutes straight to Vesuvius National Park. Spend about 1.5 hours around the Great Cone of Vesuvius, enjoying views of the area affected by the eruption, before heading back down the mountain.
After a 30-minute bus ride, spend about 2 hours at the Herculaneum Archaeological Site. Stroll through the ancient city buried by the eruption of 79 AD and learn how the ash preserved houses, decorations and even food. A digital audio guide is provided.
Another 30-minute bus ride takes you to the Pompeii Archaeological Site, where you stay about 2 hours. Pick up an audio guide and detailed map, then explore the ancient Roman city, including its famous amphitheater and Forum, at your own pace. Afterwards, return by bus.
