Is this tour right for you?

Book "Pompeii&Amalfi with Tickets" if you want entry included with your archaeologist. You choose two coastal towns for the day. The listed towns are alternatives to discuss with your driver.

The private minivan outing lasts 8–9 hours. The Pompeii route includes the Forum and houses, but agree the total guided time inside. The included ticket type isn't named; check Villa of the Mysteries access.

Lunch and admission to coastal attractions are separate. The Regio V food counter was outside-only when checked September 18, 2026. Large Theater access is from the upper ring from September 9 to October 8, 2026.

What I'd do: choose the option with tickets and agree two coastal towns before pickup.

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.
