Full-Day Tour of Naples and Pompeii with Optional Guide

Explore a lost civilization set in a time capsule

A timeless archaeological site – Pompeii has been frozen in time after Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, with homes, shops, and ancient Romans all perfectly preserved, millennia ago. Your tour begins at this UNESCO World Heritage site with an optional audio-guide or an expert guide. Explore the ancient streets filled with temples and objects brought to light by archeological excavations. Set against the historic backdrop of Mt Vesuvius, you can gaze at the Temple of Jupiter, or walk to the House of the Vettii that boasts of mural paintings on ceilings — offering a colorful glimpse into the lives of its wealthy former residents.

From ancient echoes to sun-drenched delights

A contrast from the haunting ruins of Pompeii is the city of Naples next on your tour. Often described by the Romans as “kissed by the sun”, it invites you to lose yourself in the alleys of Spaccanapoli, the historic center filled with street art, baroque churches, and hidden courtyards. Stroll over to the architectural wonders like the Duomo, the city's cathedral with its Gothic facade and frescoes, and head to the best thing in the city – its renowned Neapolitan pizzas! Savor a wood-fired pizza and follow it up with the local pastry – “sfogliatelle”, or a strong Italian espresso. As the Italians say — Divertirsi!
