- Your Journey begins with a meeting with your chauffeur, who will drive you to Pompeii.
- Upon entering Pompeii via the Sea Gate with your authorized tour guide, you will get to experience the lifestyle, passion, work, fun, food, drink, and eventual end of the inhabitants of the most extensive empire the world has ever seen. Pompeii was engulfed in about 20 feet of volcanic ash and pumice due to the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79.
- After Pompeii, the second half of your day will see you traveling south via the freeway to Mount Vesuvius, which happens to be the only active volcano in Europe.
- The journey comprises driving up the winding roads of the volcanic flanks, soaking in the breathtaking views of the Neapolitan and Caserta plain till about 3,000 feet, where the drivable road ends.
- Here, if you’re up for it, you could start walking over the slender paths that coil up the mountain for another 1,000 feet till you reach the crater’s peak. Walking along the crater’s edge will yield the most spectacular photos.
- Post this demanding but fulfilling journey, you will return to the parking lot and be driven back to your hotel.

Impressive tour with professional guide - We had booked a private tour with pick-up in Naples. We were picked up on time in a Mercedes Vito and brought quickly to Pompeii. The guide Luigi was already waiting for us. He introduced us to the highlights in Pompeii in a professional, entertaining and enthusiastic manner. After a short lunch break, we drove on to Vesuvius. On the way, we were shown the most important facts about Vesuvius and the highlights. The tour guide got us last-minute maps, which are obviously not that easy to get. After an approx. 1-hour ascent and descent to the crater, we were brought back to the starting point. The view from Vesuvius is magnificent. The visit to Pompeii was absolutely worthwhile and impressive. You could save yourself the approx. 1-hour lunch break in Pompeii and stay at the excavation site instead. A big compliment to Luigi who explained everything to us "English laypeople" in a way that was understandable.
Thanks also to Hugo from "Tour Guide Naples" who called us in Naples and discussed everything.
We will come back and visit Pompeii Part 2 and Heraculeum.

Guided tour Pompeii and Vesuvius with GetYourGuide price €105 per person - Absolutely worth doing - We booked the guided tour with GetYourGuide to see Pompeii and climb Vesuvius. Let me start by saying that it is a tour that must be done with a guide because otherwise you go around in circles without knowing what you are looking at (stones and houses).
Let's start from the beginning. The booking was made via the Internet at this well-known tour agency. In the email they write to you that they will contact you the day before to make arrangements for the collection of the day. Which didn't happen, we called the night before and they told us they would send us a text message. But nothing. Early in the morning we call back and they tell us that they can't come and pick us up at the hotel in via Toledo and to come closer to the Turchini hotel, 6 m away on foot. We find ourselves there and wait for the bus for about twenty people. They take us to Pompeii and divide us between different guides based on language. We had the guide Alex, very knowledgeable and nice. His explanations were very interesting, also dispelling myths. If it were only for him I would have given 5 stars. After leaving the Pompeii site they take us to the Suise restaurant just outside for lunch included in the price. The restaurant was not organized at all, they took orders from different tables and then shouted as soon as the dishes were ready who had taken one dish rather than another. They gave you a ticket for the free bathroom to use only once, the subsequent ones to be paid with €1. Terrible and dirty bathrooms. After lunch we took another bus to go to Vesuvius. Tickets included in the price. They left us at the entrance while we thought there was a guided tour there too. Crazy views and a climb that can be done by everyone. Once the visit was over they took us back to the starting point by bus. We were hoping for a better organization but still good.
