Itinerary

  • Pompeii Archaeological Park

    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.

    2 hours

  • Vesuvius National Park

    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.

M t Vesuvius & Pompey

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide Rita was little to quiet to start but became increasingly cordial as the day went on. Our Pompey guide focused on the architecture of Pompey which was very interesting.

Wonderful experience

Published on Jul, 2024

Climbing mount Vesuvius and visiting Pompeii was a wonderful experience and our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant.

Well-organized good value trip

Published on Jun, 2024

A great value! The reviews stating that it was disorganized must not know how to follow directions. Off a cruise, you need to walk past the security shack to the roundabout just before the Main Street (you’ll know you’re in the right place because of the dozens of bickering cab drivers). Board bus to Pompeii. The Pompeii tour was good (lots of walking). Then you get to eat at a restaurant (included- choose from pizza, pasta or salad). Then board bus to Vesuvius (scary drive up a narrow mountain trail). Stop at limoncello shop for samples (be mindful of alcohol limits on cruise ships). 1.5 hour to climb/descend Vesuvius (just enough time with a 5-year-old). Bring drinks and euros, credit card may not work at summit shop.

Great day in Pompeii

Published on May, 2024

Great pickup. Great tour guide and bus driver. Plenty of time to explore and great and well organized lunch.

Gotta do it at least once

Published on Oct, 2023

Must do when visiting Naples. What a feeling of accomplishment when climbing to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. Note: No restrooms are there. Pompeii was not what I expected. In a good way. Pizza was the best in all Italy ports
