Naples Shore Excursion Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii Day Trip

2.Naples Shore Excursion Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 313 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $148

Visit Pompeii with a specialist guide, eat pizza or pasta, then hike Mount Vesuvius to its 1,200-meter crater. Rita and guides such as Michael have helped keep the day moving, but large groups, coach changes, and tight timing can reduce time at both sights.

“Guides were professional. They managed time we’ll and responded to questions easily. Especially nice was the attention Michael paid to the children. He kept them close to him and made sure they were able to ask questions.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 313 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84

Travel from Naples port to Pompeii with a professional guide, included admission, headsets, and about two hours inside the ruins. Expect the Forum, baths, and Lupanare brothel, but allow for group pickups and possible waits before the walking tour begins.

“Pompei was simply amazing. Meeting details need to be a bit more explicit ie didn’t receive any except to meet outside the port terminal. Given the number of people and ships arriving, and huge number of guides, clearer pick up details would have been great. That was the only fault”

4.Naples Shore Excursion: Naples City and Pompeii Half Day Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 219 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $97

Start at Naples’ cathedral, Posillipo terrace, and Piazza del Plebiscito, then spend about two hours at Pompeii with a guide. Elisa, Maria, Margarita, and Annalisa are among the guides praised for clear commentary. Shared transport, entry, headsets, and port return are included.

“When we booked we were promised a van with no more than 10 people, and this was the case for the first half of the tour of Naples. However, we were moved from van to van at various locations, had different guides, drivers, and different tourists at each van switch. When the van changes happened, it seemed that the tour company did not have things organized well. At one point we sat in the van on the street for nearly 20 minutes waiting for another van to arrive. The city tour is not worth the time as the city is dirty, covered in graffiti, and the tour did not show…”

Naples Shore Excursion: Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Independent Day Trip from Naples

6.Naples Shore Excursion: Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Independent Day Trip from Naples

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 177 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $110

Travel from Naples by shared minivan to Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, with about an hour of free time in each. This is independent sightseeing with a driver, not a fully guided tour. Expect stunning coastal views, narrow winding roads, traffic, and a carefully timed return to your ship.

“We did not get to take this tour as the tour operator cancelled it saying we did not have enough time to complete it. We definitely had enough time as our ship didn’t leave port till after 6:30pm that night, but they wound not reinstate the tour. It was very disappointing because this was one of the most important tours that I booked on this cruise. It was much too late to try to find another tour since they didn’t inform us until the night before. Very disappointing”

11.Daytrip from Naples port to Pompei, Sorrento & Positano

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 54 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $559

Start at Naples port at 7:30 am for a private, chauffeured day to Pompeii or Herculaneum, Sorrento, and Positano. Your driver handles the roads, port pickup, and return, while included archaeological admission keeps the day simple. Ask about a private Pompeii guide if you want deeper site commentary.

“We had a wonderful time. Our drivers were very nice and knew lots about the areas we visited. Rome in Limo worked with us to coordinate pick up and any issues we had with getting tickets. If we go to this area again. I would rebook this company in a heartbeat. Their attention to customer service is great and so are their services. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in a private tour. It was worth every penny!”

Naples/Salerno Port: Amalfi & Ravello – Shore Excursion

12.Naples/Salerno Port: Amalfi & Ravello – Shore Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $67

Ride from Naples or Salerno to Amalfi and Ravello with port pickup, live commentary, free time, a limoncello tasting, and an optional 40-minute boat ride. The private format lets your party shape the day, though small vehicles can feel tight on winding coastal roads.

“The tour guide Mary was excellent. Very attentive, personable and knowledgeable. The driver Giacomo (sp?) was an excellent driver through these small towns and windy roads. However, this was an 8 hour tour. We spent a good amount of time in the small van driving through different areas of Italy on our way to the Amalfi Coast. Very beautiful drive. But the van was not large enough for our group. Every seat in the van was taken up and the seats were very small. The 4 seats in the back were very tight for 4 adults. The A/C was also inadequate.”

Private Shore Excursion from Naples to Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano

14.Private Shore Excursion from Naples to Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $671

Start at Naples port with a private minivan and spend eight hours combining Pompeii’s ancient streets with free time in Sorrento and Positano. Guides such as Lelo, Rosanna, Giada, and Alessandro have brought the ruins to life for families, while drivers help adjust the route around traffic and ship times.

“Disappointed because the van driver Dominick advised our group that we would go to Pompeii last and would not have enough time to visit both Positano and Sorrento. Dominick said traffic on Sunday was extremely heavy so we had to skip Sorrento sightseeing and go to Positano. Positano was very crowded making it difficult to shop. Pompeii was very enjoyable due in large part to the personable and very knowledgeable guide Rosanna. Would go back to Pompeii again if Rosanna was our guide. I think we should have been informed prior to the tour that all stops could not be made because of heavy Sunday traffic. We had a difficult…”

15.Naples Shore Excursion:Small Group Naples City Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 33 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $39Best value

Start at Naples port and tour the Duomo, Treasure Chapel, Santa Restituta, Castel Nuovo, Plebiscito Square, and Posillipo. A professional driver-guide handles the commentary, with time for a panoramic stop and a short city walk. The tour ends in Plebiscito Square.

“The city view from the highest point was the best part of the tour. We never saw the inside of the cathedral, only saw it from a distance. We had a very brief and rushed stop at a pastry/expresso shop, with no explanation of how to purchase anything. The whole tour was cut short since we spent a lot of time trying to find our group with a non-English speaking man, and then driving through town to meet our tour guide. Since we were the only 2 folks not going to Pompeii we were combined with the Pompeii group and never got any real personal attention or adequate time. Everything…”
