Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Once you have confirmed your pick-up and time, the tour will start with a convenient pick-up directly from your hotel in Naples, the port, the central station or any point of interest in the city. The early departure of this tour of about 8 hours will allow you to be among the first to enter Pompeii, enjoy a relaxing lunch and then continue to visit Vesuvius.

You will meet your guide directly in the minibus, where he will provide you with further details about the tour and the planned activities. On the way to the excavations, you will also have the opportunity to admire some of the most beautiful views of Naples. After a short journey of about 30 minutes, you will arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage Priority Entrance.

Stop 2

Discover the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After picking up from your hotel and a short minibus ride of about 30 minutes, you will have priority access to visit Italy's most famous archaeological site, accompanied by a professional guide.

You will hear the story of the devastating eruption of Vesuvius, which buried the city under a blanket of volcanic ash. During the visit, you will explore the ancient square, the forum, the baths and the Lupanare, the ancient pleasure house of Pompeii. Finally, you can admire the splendid frescoes of the House of the Vettii and discover many other fascinating and disturbing corners of Pompeii.

Stop 3

After a visit to Pompeii and a convenient stop to taste our fantastic Neapolitan pizza, we head to Vesuvius, the volcano among the most studied and dangerous in the world, due to the high population density in the surrounding areas and its explosive characteristics.

Our excursion includes a short walk to the crater of the volcano. The Mount Vesuvius National Park is recognized as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO and includes the caldera of Mount Somma and the Great Cone of Vesuvius, a sort of mountain within another mountain.

The vegetation regrown above the lava is fascinating and has developed over the different eras. The surrounding agricultural areas are renowned for producing fruit, wine and flowers. Vesuvius is infamous for its eruptions, that of 79 AD.C., which was the deadliest in recent history and that of 1944, during World War II; today the volcano is considered active.
