Naples: Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius with Lunch and Wine Tasting

1.Naples: Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius with Lunch and Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,454 reviews · from $141Our pick

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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,205 reviews · 3 hours · from $45Best value

3.From Pompeii/Naples: Vesuvius Easy Transfer and Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 660 reviews · 3 hours · from $45

Travel by air-conditioned minibus from Naples or Pompeii to Mount Vesuvius at 1,000 meters, then hike the gravel path to the Great Cone. You get about 100 minutes at the park, a skip-the-line ticket, and free time for crater views, photos, drinks, and a short walk along the rim.

“We had enough time to climb to the top, all the way around the crater as far as we could to the Pompeii view side; buy a souvenir magnet and make it back down with 15 minutes to spare We didn’t rush at all and just took our time and enjoyed it. Pick up and drop off was well organised and on time Definitely made the visit nice and easy from Naples and would recommend the trip no hesitation”

4.Pompeii: Mount Vesuvius Crater Transfer with Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 541 reviews · 3 hours · from $58

From Pompei Scavi station, a shared bus carries you up Vesuvius to 1,000 meters. Walk 15 to 20 minutes to the Gran Cono, then spend 1.5 hours at the crater. The ticket is included, but this is self-guided and the gravel climb is steep.

“Bus transfer to the base of the hike to the summit of Vesuvius was great! Comfortable and A/C in the bus. May be able to find cheaper transportation though.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 419 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $240Top rated

Spend seven hours combining Pompeii’s ruins, a local vineyard lunch, wine tasting, and a guided horseback ride on Mount Vesuvius.

7.Pompeii: Day Tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius with Bus Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 250 reviews

Spend six hours pairing a two-hour guided visit to Pompeii with a bus transfer to Mount Vesuvius. Guides such as Igor and Ciro have led engaging tours, while the crater visit is self-guided and includes about 90 minutes at the summit.

“Our guide through the ruins was amazing! Very knowledgeable! If you want to visit Villa di Misteri, make sure you upgrade your ticket when you check in so you can walk through there. The bus ride was about 45 minutes, and took us right to the entrance where you can head to the top of Vesuvius. We had about an hour and a half to hike up the volcano and shop around. It was a little rushed but we were able to make it work.”

Travel by English-speaking driver from Via Roma in Pompeii to Vesuvius National Park, with entry included and about 90 minutes to walk toward the crater. You get independent time for photographs and sunset views, but no guide, food, or large bags are allowed.

“If you want to lose almost 80 euros and than yelled at you that you are stupid that you missed the very important information that you have to be there 20 min before the departure, this is your place. If you want to see the Vesuvius, I would recommend you to find another service.”

Spend eight hours combining Pompeii’s ancient streets with a one-hour horseback ride through Vesuvius National Park. An archaeologist leads the ruins visit, while local guides handle the horses and a winery serves lunch, wine, pasta, dessert, and regional views.

“Absolutely fantastic trip. The ruins guide was lovely and very informative, we went in February so it was quiet. I was a little apprehensive about taking the transport to the horseback ride and vineyard because I get really travel sick but it was absolutely fine. Driver was fantastic, friendly and the car was comfy. The food was absolutely delicious we were so full. I would do this trip again had so much fun and enjoyment.”
