Top 15 Evening Experiences in Naples

1.Pompeii from Afternoon to Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 108 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $65Our pick

Walk Pompeii’s ancient streets with a guide such as Francesco, Sasa, Frankie, or Angelo, seeing the Forum, baths, theaters, bakery, homes, and Basilica. The small group, late-afternoon timing, and skip-the-line entry make this a calm, focused way to visit, though sunset is not guaranteed before closing.

“Our tour guide Francesco was the most knowledgeable tour guide during our entire trip of Italy. We were running about 10 minutes late and he was courteous enough to call us and see where we were at instead of just starting the tour without us, we really appreciated that. He was very nice, a very positive attitude, and extremely funny. Gives very excellent and informative tour of Pompeii as well he can answer any of your questions about Italian and Roman history down to specific people and their names. The man is a book of knowledge and highly recommend him and his tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $114

Meet your licensed guide at Hotel Vittoria at 5pm for a private, two-hour walk through Pompeii.

“Gennaro was a wonderful guide. We were a family group with seniors, adults and children. The information about Pompei and it's people was provided in a manner that was very relatable. We toured at 5pm. There would have been no shade earlier in the day so we avoided crowds and high temperatures. Best time to see the ruins.”

“Romolo è una persona molto in gamba, che vi contatta subito via telefono con informazioni chiare e precise. Appena arrivate a Pompei, Romolo vi porta a fare il tour raccontandovi aneddoti interessanti sulla città, con passione e curiosità. È facile percepire il legame forte tra lui e gli scavi, che risale a più generazione della stessa famiglia. Romolo parla un ottimo inglese, uno di noi non parla italiano ma siamo riusciti a seguire ogni sua spiegazione senza problemi. Abbiamo fatto il tour di 2 ore, ma torneremo sicuramente prenotando un tour diverso con Romolo. Andate sicuri!!”
