5.From Naples: Pompeii, Herculaneum, & Vesuvius Full-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 602 reviews · from $152

Travel by minibus from Naples to Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum, and Pompeii in 8.5 hours. You walk independently at each site, using Pompeii’s audio guide and map. The English and Italian-speaking staff handle transport and tickets, but this is not a guided archaeological tour. Bring water, lunch, ID, and sturdy shoes.

“We used the audio guide, which was better with your own phone and a QR code at Herculaneum, not so great using the hand held audio guide supplied at Pompeii. The numbers on both do not correlate to the site lay out. We actually had Vesuvius booked as well, although rain prevented our visit there. Despite this, more time would still have been better for Pompeii, considering. Had we visited Vesuvius as well, I suspect we would have been very disappointed with the time allocated to Pompeii. otherwise good value for money. There are snack shops outside Pompeii, vending machines and a cafe at Herculaneum.Read more”

Many thanks to our driver Max and guide JB who were excellent in making sure we were comfortable and they were very engaging. We don’t feel rushed, and my only reflection is that of course Pompeii needs more than one visit!”

She also got us in to a restaurant before the crush of other tour groups and kept the day moving right along without becoming tedious or boring. We loved it and highly recommend!”
