Is this tour right for you?

Book Shared Group Tour in English if you want more time inside Pompeii. You get 2.5 hours with a guide before Vesuvius. This shared departure doesn't suit cruise passengers.

The coach starts and ends at Starhotels Terminus. Both entry tickets are included, with a guide throughout the day. You'll have an hour outside Pompeii for lunch at your expense.

Building stops below are part of the Pompeii walk. They don't add extra time inside. Check Villa of the Mysteries coverage before choosing this for the villa.

What I'd do: choose the shared English option while staying in Naples and budget separately for lunch.

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.
