Is this tour right for you?

Choose "Prime - Guide and Tickets" for a licensed guide inside Pompeii. The private minivan day lasts 9 hours. You choose one or two coastal towns with your driver.

Pompeii gets 2 hours, with stops chosen around your interests. Guiding and park entry are included on Prime. Lunch is extra; the ticket type isn't named, so check Villa of the Mysteries access.

The route may reverse and put Pompeii in the afternoon. The town stops below are alternatives, not a promise to visit all four. Check current access to the Large Theatre before your visit.

What I'd do: book Prime with Amalfi and Ravello, then agree the pickup and route order.

Chiara Vitale Writes pompeii.day

I grew up in Castellammare di Stabia, under the volcano, and spent six seasons on hotel front desks in Sorrento. Which ticket, which train, which gate, how many hours: I've answered these more times than I can count.

Now I live in Pompei, ten minutes on foot from the Amphitheatre gate, and I go into the site most weeks on a MyPompeii card. For this page I compared the options and booking terms with the park's rules. Report a correction.
