Is this tour right for you?

Choose Private tour from Naples for your own vehicle and Pompeii guide. It suits travelers who want hotel or port pickup. You'll join a group for the crater walk.

Pompeii has 2 guided hours before a break for lunch. Both entry tickets are included; food and drinks cost extra. The Vesuvius visit allows 90 minutes with a geology guide.

Heavy rain can close Vesuvius and bring an alternative site. The Pompeii ticket type isn't named, so check Villa of the Mysteries access. Allow 7 hours for the Naples option.

What I'd do: I'd book Private tour from Naples for hotel pickup and a private Pompeii guide.

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.
