Wear comfortable walking shoes, have a hat, sunscreen, water and clothes suitable for hot days and be prepared for the crowds. Well worth taking the tour.”

3.Naples Shore Excursion Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii Day Trip

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

From Naples, this seven-hour shore excursion pairs a guided walk through Pompeii’s Forum, baths and Lupanare with a hike to Vesuvius’s crater rim. Port transfers, attraction tickets and a pizza lunch with a drink are included. The summit path is steep and rocky, and the day can run longer than planned.

“The hike up Vesuvius is great. I thought the tour spent too much time at Pompeii leaving little time for Vesuvius. Tour guide was well informed, but very soft and dull. So was a bit of a strain listening in and keep interest levels high. Lunch was ok…avoid the pasta. :)”

“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.”

He always parked close, was clear with meeting spots and times, and even walked me to a requested store in Positano. We had a long and interesting day with a good mix of education, food, entertainment, and shopping. The views can’t be beat! I would not recommend this tour if you get motion sickness.”

“The site itself was nice. The booking information was unclear in multiple areas. When we arrived at Pompeii it was a complete cluster. Our initial bus guide couldn't locate our tour guide and when we finally located one, he initially informed us that we would not be getting head sets (he didn't have a loud voice) but after numerous people made comments, they decided our group could have headsets. Our group randomly stood around for a half an hour while waiting to enter. (our tour started at 1030 and we didn't enter Pompeii until 1205). Our guide was very passive and would let multiple groups pass us while telling us…”
