Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Elite Tour with Lunch from Naples
Book the Regular Group: Crater No Lunch option for 2 hours in Pompeii, a lunch stop and 2 hours at the volcano with both tickets in the price, picked up at your Naples hotel or the cruise terminal. It clears the combined bar at 4.7 on 3,416 reviews but is rated 4.4 by 780 Viator travelers on Viator alone, our second rule, so it sits beside the selection. The cheapest option on it, Valley of Hell, does not include the crater.
