This tour is basically a travel service between Pompei, Mt Vesuvius and Herculaneum. We were taken to Mt Vesuvius and left there - told to meet the bus at particular time. Considerable confusion about which bus to get on - driver very confused. Next we were dropped at Herculaneum with an audio guide that was totally separate to the Herculaneum numbers so when you played it, it didn't match where you were. Got back to bus at time we were told. Company miscounted number of participants so we had to sit and wait an extra 15 minutes. Driver was not happy and drove us back to Pompei in a very unsafe manner (130km/hr) on highway in a rickety minibus. Then we were left at Pompei with audio guide which had to be returned by 5.30 so you could get your ID back. An extremely disorganised company and too expensive to basically pay for transport and entry tickets. Enjoyed climbing Mt Vesuvius and wandering around Pompei and Herculaneum without audio guides.

Good transport and organisation. Unfortunately the audio guides did not correspond to the places in Erculaneum. In pompeii, it was intermittent. Overall they were amazing places to visit. This company get you to the places, take the hassle out of buying the tickets, and drive you safely back at the end of the day.

Very well organized day. We were able to visit all 3 sites, without having to rush for Herculanum and Mount Vesuvius. For pompei, they show us the places to visit and the time allotted. Don't forget good shoes, as you'll be walking a lot. The team was top-notch. They even spoke a little French, even though we weren't supposed to. Audioguide for herculanum and pompei in French. Very nice!

Very well organized trip, meeting points clear and easy to find. Enough time in each place to see everything. We highly recommend this activity, which allows you to see 3 emblematic places close to Naples in one day!

Your experience

Explore the charm of ancient Roman cities and a breathtaking vista from Mount Vesuvius on this full day trip. Choose to be picked up and dropped off at either Naples or Pompeii.

Travel back in time: Pompeii & Herculaneum

Start your journey at Pompeii, where you'll be equipped with an audio guide to explore the awe-inspiring ruins – from homes to temples and theaters – all remarkably preserved under volcanic ash. Did you know that the witty graffiti discovered here gives us a peek into the vibrant social life of the city's ancient inhabitants?

The journey continues to Herculaneum, a city smaller than Pompeii, but impeccably conserved. Unearth the intimate details of Roman life as you traverse through vivid frescoes and mosaics. A known fact is that Herculaneum's residents had time to flee during the eruption, hence fewer remains were found, but those discovered offer fascinating clues about their diet and lifestyle.

Venture into nature's majesty at Vesuvius

The grand finale of your trip is a visit to Vesuvius National Park. Here, you'll meet the imposing and still-active Vesuvius volcano. Surprisingly, despite its notorious reputation, there's a thriving local wine industry on its fertile slopes! An experienced volcanic guide will accompany you throughout the journey, ensuring a seamless and enlightening experience.
