Is this tour right for you?

Book this if Pompeii is your only stop. The 3–4 hours round trip suits a first visit from Naples. You get a guided introduction without adding a second destination.

Your guide spends 2 hours in the ancient city's western area. The route includes the Forum and baths, with houses along the way. Pompeii entry and return transport are included; lunch costs extra.

Meet at Via Galileo Ferraris 40 and return there afterward. Hotel pickup isn't included. The ticket's coverage of the Villa of the Mysteries needs checking.

What I'd do: I'd choose a morning departure for the guided walk and arrange lunch separately.

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.
