Viator listing. Updated September 19, 2026.

Is this tour right for you?

Choose Departure from Naples for a day with lunch arranged. The minibus leaves from Starhotels Terminus and returns there. Both Pompeii and Vesuvius tickets are included.

You'll walk up to the crater and meet an alpine guide there. A pizza lunch with a soft drink breaks up the day. Pompeii gets about 2 hours with a guide or audio guide.

Fewer than six travelers means audio guides at Pompeii. A closed Vesuvius changes the day to free time at Herculaneum. The Pompeii ticket's Villa of the Mysteries coverage needs checking.

What I'd do: I'd choose Departure from Naples for the pizza lunch and bring my passport.

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.
