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.”

3.Naples Shore Excursion: Pompeii Half Day Trip from Naples

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

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…”

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”
