What To Expect
Archaeological Park of Pompeii
After pickup from your hotel or the Naples train station, take a 30-minute drive to Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was entirely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. The largest archaeological site in Europe, today Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you arrive, your guide will pick up your group’s pre-ordered tickets and lead you on a 2-hour walking tour of the fascinating grounds. Witness the destruction first-hand as you visit Pompeii’s most famous sites, including the Forum, the Thermal Baths, Vetti's House and the Lupanare brothel, giving you a glimpse into daily life during the Pax Romana. Today you can see shapes of objects — even bodies — that were buried beneath the volcanic ash and pumice.
Vesuvius National Park
After your tour, enjoy a pizza lunch with your group followed by some free time to browse the shops. Then board the coach and drive 40 minutes to legendary Mt Vesuvius. Embark on a moderate hike up the volcano with your guide. When you reach the summit at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters), you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Peer down into the crater and see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano! There is a rest point where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top, but the hike is worth the effort. After your Mt Vesuvius hike, relax on the drive back to Naples in the early evening.

4.00The tour offered an incredible glimpse into ancient history, with Pompeii’s ruins and Mount Vesuvius’ dramatic landscape providing unforgettable scenery. The guide Maria was knowledgeable and the pace although perfect for us (2 hrs) didn’t quite allow time for everyone to absorb the rich stories behind the Pompeii site. We opted for hotel pickup which was good, the organisation at the meeting point in Pompeii could be improved—there was some initial confusion that delayed the start. Once underway, though, the experience was well worth it. One member of the group did get lost near the start and didn’t catch back up until the exit potentially due to group size and wandering off. Lunch was good, I opted for a Pizza which was large and we also had a drink included. We had just over an hour break before the final part of the day. Mount Vesuvius was the final part and we were dropped off around 200m or so below the crater rim. We went off quickly and complete the accent in 28 minutes and came down in 17. Wear appropriate footwear as it’s steep and slippy in places! Improvements - smaller groups, more time in Pompeii/Vesuvius, earlier start to beat traffic and cruise ship coaches arriving. Thanks to Maria & Elaria for a great day!
