Full description

Explore the world-famous Pompeii ruins and Mount Vesuvius on a guided day trip starting from Naples or Sorrento. Enjoy skip-the-line entry to Pompeii and admire the Bay of Naples from Vesuvius’ summit.

Start at Pompeii, where you can skip the ticket line before your guided walking tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With your guide, inspect well-preserved ruins, artworks, mosaics, and frescoes, including the Roman Forum, and Temple of Apollo. Even glance at plaster casts of people in the city at the time of Vesuvius’ eruption in AD 79.

Exit the archeological site with your guide and visit the surrounding shops and cafes. Choose the lunch option for a three-course meal consisting of a starter, main course, dessert, and one drink.

Next up is Mount Vesuvius. Skip the majority of the arduous climb, with your vehicle taking you 1000m up the volcano. From there, step out and make your own way to the crater’s edge on a 30-minute ascent.

On the way, you may come across an official alpine guide who can share the volcano’s turbulent history with you. Arrive at the summit where you can enjoy and photograph the unforgettable views over the whole of the Bay of Naples. 

The day trip ends with a transfer back to Naples or Sorrento.

Very enjoyable day visiting Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. The guide @ Pompeii was very knowledgeable and entertaining. There is not guide that walks you up Mt Vesuvius but you don’t really need one. The bus driver was amazing getting us up the winding switchback roads to Mt Vesuvius! Would recommend.

Fantastic trip. The only challenge was gathering everyone so we set off on time (not the host company fault but it did feel a slow start). Otherwise it ran really well with a very informative guide (Gabriella) in Pompeii, and Davide was a great host overall.

Wonderful trip! We were given a 2.5 hour tour to Pompeii which was super informational. Our tour guide and the bus were also really nice. We were then given 2 hours to hike to the top of Mt Vesuvius. Given the weather, our tour went about an hour over so make sure you plan for that.
