    Last minutes changes put ne in a bit of a rush. Appreciate that they accomodate and wait for my arrival to start. Micheal the guide/archeologist was a fountain of knowledge, he made it all well worth it. Both Pompeii and Ercolano are well worth visiting.

    Well organized, good information before and during the excursion. Especially the guide in Pompeii was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I doubt however whether I would suggest going on the tour, because the Pompeii site is very touristic (which the tour organization cannot help), making the experience somewhat less exciting.
  • The perfect half-day tour from Naples, Pompeii is an ideal distance away for a scenic day trip. Explore the ancient Roman town, famous for being preserved in a near-perfect state, and revel in the ancient glory of the Campania region. Age-old ruins, breathtaking volcanic landscapes away from the city, this experience is perfect for anyone looking for a short break from Naples.

    With these tickets, you don’t have to worry about anything on your Vesuvian adventure. Travel in a fully fitted GT coach/minibus. Audio-commentary onboard will keep your interest in the site piqued. See the massive ruins spread over 50 hectares along with objects from the Roman Era as you discover one of the largest remnants of ancient Roman architecture, culture, and style.
