Mount Vesuvius guided tours

An easy day trip from Naples that takes you straight to Mount Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii or Herculaneum, or both.

• Day out to Mount Vesuvius with round-trip transfers from Naples. Travel stress-free with expert driver support and hike to the Great Cone’s summit for breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples and the ancient towns below.
• You’ll get an air-conditioned minibus from Naples to Pompeii or Herculaneum, where you’ll skip the line and explore the ancient ruins. Afterward, head up Mount Vesuvius to enjoy panoramic views and hike up to the Great Cone at your own pace.
• Pompeii Archaeological Site: Wander the remarkably preserved ruins, including the amphitheater and Forum, and witness daily life frozen in time by the eruption of 79 AD.
• Herculaneum: Discover this smaller but better-preserved site, where wooden structures, mosaics, and even carbonized food remain intact. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum offers a more intimate look at Roman life, from luxurious seaside villas to everyday shops and bathhouses.
• Upgrades: Extend your experience with tickets that include not just Pompeii or Herculaneum, but both—two cities forever shaped by Vesuvius’ eruption. Visiting them together with the volcano offers a deeper look into their shared history.
