★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,151 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $90

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Piazza del Popolo to Pompeii, where an official guide covers homes, shops, baths, and theaters. Add lunch in Ercolano, then choose a steep crater hike or a geologist-led walk on Vesuvius. Guides such as Angela, Julia, and Valentina help keep the long day organized.

“A long bus ride, but a truly incredible experience. Pompeii was amazing and I could have spent several days wandering the city. The hike to Vesuvius was no joke. I consider myself to have an average level of fitness and the walk to the top almost took me out. The path on the way down is also pretty treacherous. The path is loose gravel and lots of people lose their footing so be warned. The pizza lunch was fabulous! Overall, an excellent tour!”

Enriquez the guide was hugely informative and entertaining the whole day, and driver Jonay was excellent, taking us to all venues along vertiginous roads with no fuss.
