“Our guide Teresa was absolutely the best!!! She had deep knowledge of the history of the place and passed the information to us in a very smooth and relatable way. Her command of the English was top notch making it even easier to understand and remember what was said. She kept calling us ā€œmy familyā€ and I dare say it was spot on as it truly felt that wayšŸ˜Š. We enjoyed the tour very much and we highly recommend it to anyone having doubts about booking one. The information you get out of it makes the experience of touring Pompeii completely different.”

4.Pompeii Ruins & Mount Vesuvius Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 11,459 reviews · from $120.84

One guided day from Naples to Pompeii ruins and Mount Vesuvius, with pizza lunch and crater views over the Bay of Naples.

“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Salmon Foji, the coolest guy. He went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed the day, took great photographs and was extremely hospitable. The day began with quadbiking, camel riding, falcon pictures, sandboarding and ended with dune bashing. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. He was very attentive and provided a tame version of dune bashing for those sensitive to motion sickness. Light refreshments are available, we went at 3:45 which we recommend as it was not too hot and we caught the sun sent. Highlight of the trip, Thank you so much Salman is worthy of a raise!!!Read more”

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Positano in one day from Rome with skip-the-line ruins, a guided visit, scenic driving, and free time in Positano.

“This is a great way to visit Pompeii and Positano if youā€™re on a time crunch and want the experiences during your Rome trip. However, the whole thing felt very rushed and a little stressful. They push many reminders to get to the meeting point early, only to make you wait for the latest arrivals anyway and then rush you to the buses which are a few blocks away. The seats on the bus are tight - if you are tall or on the larger side they are not comfortable, your knees dig into the seat in front of you and thereā€™s nowhere to rest your head since the seats…”

“This a definite must see/ must do activity while staying in Naples. Mimi and GG were absolutely brilliant and hilarious! Mimi also had really interesting facts he shared on the way to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. While the guide within Pompeii was also absolutely hilarious and knowledgeable! He was able to answer any questions asked and made the tour enjoyable for all. The walk up to Mount Vesuvius is challenging, however it is so worth it and I would recommend to anyone, who is able bodied to do it.”
