From Naples: Pompeii and Herculaneum Guided Tour with Transfers

Step back in time on a guided day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum, exploring two ancient Roman cities buried by Vesuvius, with expert insights, smooth transfers, and the option to add a traditional Italian lunch.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the designated point in Naples. Look for the Askos Tours sign, validate your ticket, and follow your tour leader. Restrooms and a short stop are available at the cameo factory before entering Pompeii.

What to expect

Pompeii

One of the world’s most famous archaeological parks, frozen in time by the eruption of 79 AD.

• Explore a temple, market, shop, villa, bathhouse, theater, and the Forum.

• Skip-the-line entry ensures more time inside the ruins.

• Flexible route: your guide selects sites based on crowd levels and opening hours.

Cameo factory

An introduction to the Roman art of cameo jewelry.

• Watch artisans carve shells and gemstones.

• Restrooms available before entering the ruins.

Herculaneum

Smaller but even better preserved than Pompeii.

• Admire the House of the Deer, House with Atrium mosaics, and Neptune & Amphitrite mosaics.

• See rare wooden beams, mosaics, and intact thermal baths.

Upgrades

• Add a sit-down Italian lunch between site visits.

• Choose an archaeologist-led tour for deeper insights, or opt for an audio guide for flexibility.
