Is this tour right for you?

Choose Pompeii & Positano - English for the shared coach trip. Your guided Pompeii visit lasts 2 hours, followed by 2 hours free in Positano. Pompeii entry and return transport are included; food and drinks cost extra.

Semi Private Tour - English takes up to eight people. Your minivan trip also includes a limoncello tasting. You'll still share the trip; hotel pickup belongs to the separate private options.

Allow 13 hours; traffic can affect your return time. The included Pompeii ticket type isn't named. Check Villa of the Mysteries access before booking if it's central to your visit.

What I'd do: I'd choose Semi Private Tour - English if fewer people in the vehicle mattered enough to pay more.

Chiara VitaleWrites 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. I haven't taken this trip. Report a correction.
