Know More about this tour


After pickup from your cruise ship dock, take a 30 minute drive to Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was entirely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. The largest archaeological site in Europe, today Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.When you arrive, your guide will skip the line to buy your group’s tickets and lead you on a 2 hour walking tour of the fascinating grounds. Witness the destruction first-hand as you visit Pompeii’s most famous sites, including the Forum, thermal baths, lupanare, greek theatre and plaster casts of the bodies of Pompeii people, giving you a glimpse into daily life during the Pax Romana. Today you can see shapes of objects — even bodies — that were buried beneath the volcanic ash and pumice.
After Pompeii visit, enjoy some free time to browse the shops followed by a pizza lunch with your group. Then board the coach and drive 40 minutes to legendary Mt Vesuvius. Embark on a moderate hike up the volcano with your guide. When you reach the summit at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters), you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Peer down into the crater and see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano!There is a rest point where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top, but the hike is worth the effort. After your Mt Vesuvius hike, relax on the drive back to Naples in the late afternoon.

    Tour group was huge. Bus was comfortable and our tour guide on the bus was OK. Tour guide at Pompeii was very good. Pizza lunch was terrible. Weather did not cooperate. Average tour.

    Really great day that we enjoyed so much. Brilliant Pompeii finished off with a lovely pizza before being zipped off to conquer Vesuvius.....well the last 200m anyway. The hosts were great and made sure that we got back to our ship in time despite very busy traffic in Naples

    Pompeii was much larger a city than I thought. The ruins just went on and on. Needs to have more of the people casts on premises.

    We didn’t realise we would be climbing Mt Vesuvius and although it was steep, it was well worth it. Pompeii was sensational but so much to see and take in we will have to go back.

    Very efficient tour. There was very little wasted time. Make sure your shoes have good tread on them for the hike up Mt Vesuvius. There was loose gravel. There were little shops at two points up the mountain. They had drinks and souvenirs. You could pay with Euros or credit. Pompeii is very hot if you go in the summer. Buy a bottle of water before heading in.

    Tour indimenticabile! Andrea, la nostra guida a Pompei ce l'ha fatta vivere in un continuo parallelo coi nostri giorni, bravo oltremisura! Elisa è stata una accompagnatrice estremamente professionale e preparata, pick up vicino all'hotel con mini van super nuovi, trekking sul Vesuvio istruttivo e affascinante, vale assolutamente la pena! Risotto totale delle normative anti Covid! Grazie per questa splendida giornata, impossibile organizzarla da soli. ------------------------------ We had the most extraordinary experience, exceeding all expectations. Andrea was outstanding during our visit to Pompeii, stimulating our knowledge of the ancient Roman life, with respect to nowadays: an extremely interesting point of view to visit this enchanting place. Chapeau. Trekking on Mount Vesuvius is fascinating: we have learnt a lot thanks to the local guides and the view from the crater is breathtaking. Elisa was extremely competent and professional, the anti Covid measures all applied when necessary and the pick up offered by brand new mini van to limit the personal interaction. I loved this tour to bits! Big thanks to all.

    We were on a cruise that spent the day in Naples. I booked this tour as it seemed we would have enough time to do both Pompeii and Vesuvius (we needed to be back on the ship by 5:30pm). We were picked up at the port around 9:45 and we also picked up other passengers before heading to Pompeii . By the the time we got to Pompeii and waited for our guide to get our tickets, it was 11:15 am. Spent 2 hours at Pompeii with a very informative guide. We were concerned we wouldn’t make it back in time to the ship so we opted to go back (ok with our guide). Problem...there was no room on the shuttle to take us back to port. So we headed back with our group who had been eating lunch. We got our pizzas to go and headed to Vesuvius. Long story short, we made it back to the ship at 5:15pm. Too close for comfort for me.
