★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,645 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $75Our pick

Travel by air-conditioned van from Naples or Sorrento to Pompeii, where a live guide leads you through the Forum, baths, villas, shops, arena, and Lupanar. Guides such as Roberta and Alysse bring the Roman town to life, followed by limited free time before your return.

“Excellent all round. Driver missed our get-off spot on the way back but we got off after and it was a short walk. Alysse the guide was absolutely brilliant - knowledgable and really engaged. She knew her history and really made the trip worthwhile. It’s worth calling out you need 50c for the toilets so bring cash. 10/10”

He was entertaining but factual. I’m pretty sure his name was spelled Etaly! He gets my highest rating!!”

Ride from Naples to Mount Vesuvius in an air-conditioned vehicle, stop at a vineyard for local wine and food, then hike to the crater rim. Guides such as Nunoa, Diana, and Giuseppe have helped make the outing enjoyable, but pickup times, group arrangements, and the promised volcanologist can vary.

“If you are looking for the perfect introduction to Naples, look no further than a walking tour with Donatella. Our family of three (including a 12-year-old) began our two-week Italian holiday with her 3-hour "Centro Storico" tour, and it was the best decision we could have made. Donatella met us promptly at our hotel in Piazza Bellini and led us through the heart of the city. Strolling down Via Dei Tribunali and the iconic Spaccanapoli was a sensory delight—everything you imagine Naples to be, from the colorful laundry fluttering overhead to the incredible aromas of local cuisine. We visited the historic San Lorenzo Maggiore and the stunning Santa Chiara, where…”

At end of tour back at Naples we were all hot (temp was 29 degrees!!) & few of us didn't want to walk anymore. Found out bus wasn't going back to port so had to get off, wouldn't take us back even tho it was only a few streets away. Tour description said it ended back at port, didn't say more walking. I went back on my own as I was ill. Otherwise we enjoyed it very much.”
