If you want to spend a long time in Pompeii, you should probably book a dedicated trip. If you have mobility issues or can not walk quickly, this is not the trip for you.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 444 reviews · from $113

Full-day Pompeii and Herculaneum tour from Naples with morning guided ruins, lunch, and an afternoon Herculaneum audio visit.

“Pompeii was incredible, our tour guid was extremely knowledgeable, showed us all the highlights but we had a good walk around the city. If you haven't got the option of doing 8 hours alone in Pompeii, this tour is great. in the 2-3 hours we were in Pompeii, we saw so much! The lunch was amazing, was even treated to a guitar playing waitor which was brilliant. Herculaneum tour was self guide, nowhere near as big as Pompeii, was interesting but sadly the main items I wanted to see were closed for restoration works. Highly recommend this tour to anyone!!”

15.Herculaneum and Vesuvius Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 200 reviews · from $135

Spend a day in Naples hitting Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius with shuttle transport, skip-the-line entry, and expert Vesuvius guidance.

“The tourist company welcomed us in the office, clarified the program, and gave us the vouchers. We travelled by shuttle buses of another local company. There is no guide during the day. Vouchers must be substituted for tickets at entrances. In the case of Vesuvius, this was uncomfortable. The bus stopped near the starting point of Vesuvius's pedestrian ascent, and the ticket office was 200 meters down the road.The parking for buses and taxis is crowded and dangerous for pedestrians. It takes at least an hour and a half to climb to the volcano crater and return. It is possible to return to Naples on a later bus.Read more”
