From Naples: Pompeii & Vesuvius Guided Tour with Transfers

This guided tour departs from Naples and covers two of the most visited archaeological sites in Italy: the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, and the volcano itself. Transfers are included, so no separate transport arrangements are needed. Pompeii was rediscovered in the 18th century and has been under continuous excavation since, revealing streets, temples, bathhouses, and preserved casts of residents caught in the eruption.

On Vesuvius, the tour ascends to the crater rim, one of the few active volcanoes in mainland Europe, standing at roughly 1,281 metres. The Pompeii section covers the Forum, the Lupanar, the House of the Faun, and the amphitheatre, among other named sites. Tickets include the guided commentary throughout both locations.
