Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Day Trip from Rome with Pizza Lunch

1.Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Day Trip from Rome with Pizza Lunch

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

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!”

“Started off abit shaky as because of the F1 blockage, tour guide couldnt pick us up but they booked taxi for us and paid for it which was nice. They also compensated with free city tour which was even better. Ali- our driver did his best to make sure we enjoy as he made sure we were all comfortable. Our tour guide (cant remember his name) was the most knowledgeable ive seen, he knew exactly what information to give out and when to give out. Overall, i want to thank the operator on the phone for giving out clear instructions, our tour guide who was the best, and our driver…”

Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch

4.Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,901 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $149

Spend about seven hours exploring Pompeii with a guide, eating pizza, and hiking Mount Vesuvius. The tour includes transport, entrance fees, and pickup in Naples. Guides such as Elisa, Alba, Michele, Bernadette, and Maria have led highly praised Pompeii visits, though weather and tight timing can affect the volcano stop.

“I'm rating it 5 stars although we couldn't do Vesuvius because it was closed due to pouring rain, logistics went into the dumpster because of the rain, our (Spanish) guide couldn't even arrive and they had to replace our guide, THAT BEING SAID, our guide Santiago was absolutely amazing, I dare say the best possible outcome was getting Santiago, we enjoyed very much our tour in the rain, sadly after the tour you'll want to spend 2 more weeks exploring the ruins with Santiago but we only had 2 hours.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,748 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $131

Spend eight hours exploring Pompeii with a local guide, eating lunch or tasting wine, then head up Mount Vesuvius. Guides such as Flora, Connie, and Mery have earned praise for clear organization, while the volcano route and group size can vary, so check the details before booking.

“The main tour guide was patronising and treated us like children. She didn’t give us much information about what we were doing and where we were going although the Pompeii tour guide was ok. We had to wait a long time for our lunch and overall I didn’t think the tour was value for money.”

Spend eight hours with Worldtours visiting Pompeii with an archaeologist, eating at a local vineyard, and hiking Mount Vesuvius. Guides such as Federica, Giovanni, and Raffaella may lead different departures. Choose the crater trail or, in poor weather, the lava-filled Valley of Hell.

“Giovanni was a very friendly and energetic guide, and spoke to my group in English and Spanish. The bus was very comfortable, and I highly recommend booking the option for the wine tasting. BEWARE! COME HUNGRY! We didn’t realize the wine tasting included several delicious courses, cheeses, and dessert before embarking on a Vesuvius hike. The view from the restaurant was gorgeous. A wonderful experience!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 683 reviews · from $130

Travel from Sorrento or Vico Equense to Mount Vesuvius, walk to the crater at 1,000 meters, eat pizza with a view, then tour Pompeii with a local guide. Guides such as Maddalena, Max, Ilenia, and Bernadette vary by departure.

“A great way to see Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. The hike up the volcano was moderate and you need to be pretty quick to get up and back in the time they provide. Make sure you wear good footwear too. Getting to see the crater with smoke coming out was incredible! The tour at Pompeii was great, the place is huge so it was nice getting shown all the most interesting parts with a guide. The lunch was a simple pizza bust very tasty. Only downside was the bus, it was quite old a bit cramped, the aircon was also freezing for everyone on board.”

Guides such as Joaquim, Bruno, and João lead small-group van tours, adjust stops for fog and rain, and include a traditional Azorean lunch with drinks and dessert.

“Although the weather didn’t cooperate and we couldn’t see both lakes in their full beauty, the tour was absolutely perfect — mainly thanks to our amazing guide Joaquim, who truly went above and beyond! He did everything he could to make the most of the day, even adding extra stops that weren’t part of the original itinerary — like the pineapple plantation and the stunning Santa Bárbara beach — just to make up for what we missed due to the fog and rain. That kind of dedication made all the difference! Lunch at the restaurant in Lagoa was another highlight — from the wine and main course to the dessert,…”
