Is this tour right for you?

It sits beside the list because it's private. For a coast visitor it's the cleanest way to do both sites in a day: no group cap to question, and a route inside Pompeii that names the Forum, the Temple of Jupiter, a baths stop, the House of the Faun, the Large Theatre and the Basilica.

Meet at the Garage Parking Mandara on Viale Pasitea, or at your hotel if a car can reach it. 2 hours in Pompeii with the guide, then Vesuvius in two listed stops, half an hour and an hour; confirm the walking schedule from Quota 1000 and the route open on your date. Back to Positano, 8 hours in all.

The Vesuvius ticket and priority access to Pompeii are included; the listing quotes €11.68 against its priority-access line. Lunch isn't. A weather closure on Vesuvius refunds its entry.

What I'd do: this one if I wanted the crater and a named route inside, and didn't want to ask about group limits.

Chiara Vitale Writes 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. Report a correction.
