What you'll see and do
Archaeological Park of Pompeii
After pickup from your hotel or the Naples train station, take a 30-minute drive to Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was entirely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. The largest archaeological site in Europe, today Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you arrive, your guide will pick up your group’s pre-ordered tickets and lead you on a 2-hour walking tour of the fascinating grounds. Witness the destruction first-hand as you visit Pompeii’s most famous sites, including the Forum, the Thermal Baths, Vetti's House and the Lupanare brothel, giving you a glimpse into daily life during the Pax Romana. Today you can see shapes of objects — even bodies — that were buried beneath the volcanic ash and pumice.

Vesuvius National Park
After your tour, enjoy a pizza lunch with your group followed by some free time to browse the shops. Then board the coach and drive 40 minutes to legendary Mt Vesuvius. Embark on a moderate hike up the volcano with your guide. When you reach the summit at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters), you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Peer down into the crater and see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano! There is a rest point where you can choose to wait for your group if you do not wish to climb all the way to the top, but the hike is worth the effort. After your Mt Vesuvius hike, relax on the drive back to Naples in the early evening.

If you like not having a great time this is it
I have to preface some of the ratings I have left. We took a tour of Vesuvius and Pompeii today here are some pics to help prove it and I may add more to show Pompeii as it is amazing. We were 5 mins late to leave due to the less than 1 star taxi services offered in Napels ... seriously they are all crooks check out my other review on here about them if you want to know more. We had a guide named Luna who was very nice and patient, her knowledge seemed like she knew what she was talking about and gave off enough knowledge that if you knew nothing about what you were seeing you would have the general jist. Id say she was about 3/5 for guide. 3/5 knowledge. 2/5 for being a decent guide or doing anything above the bare minimum required. We went to Vesuvius and did the walk. Its not easy, they gave a short time to explore in my opinion only a little more than an hour to do it all. We are told we are going to have lunch but instead of eating on the multiple beautiful restaurants on the mountain side we get to go to a mall... like children to eat a food court... a food court. I dont know if you guys have eaten at a food court but I am not a teenager nor did I want to eat at a mall. We are given a total of 50 mins to eat and use the restroom. We are recommended a restaurant called Fresca by the tour company. We sit down to a less than half full food court restaurant and order pasta. I expressed to the waitress that we were on a tour and had minimal time about 30 mins at this point and the waitress responded with no problem 15 mins for this. Which gave us 15 mins to eat and leave. Well it came out in 25 mins and we had to leave and didn't get to eat. We had the meal comped after I made a fuss about not having the time and reiterated that I had to her we had only a bit of time. The manager had to get involved and was nice enough to comp us the water and bread we ate. Don't go to Fresco in the mall its not worth it. We spoke with Luna and while she did apologize we didn't get lunch and now had to walk Pompeii. Luna is not at fault for this and I am not blaming her companies recommendation on her I am explaining to anyone reading this what not to do. We arrived to Pompeii with out "archeologist" Vito. Vito is fantastic and why they are getting 3 stars and not the 1.5 star review these clowns deserve. Vito was solid and while I doubt he is an archeologist he is very knowledgeable about the site, he is fun, asks questions, shows a great majority of what can been seen in 2 hours. He makes sure people are active and engaged and made the Pompeii experience worth it. That being said I think you legitimately need 2 or 3 trips to Pompeii to see it in a way that you feel like you experienced it enough. I would love to leave a review on their website but if you check those pesky rules they basically dont post negative ones. Which would probably reflect a score closer to a 2. Don't buy this absolute bs. Don't give these clowns money. The last picture has Vito in it the tour guide and if you see him at pompeii hes gonna give you a good tour.

Once in a lifetime trip impacted by poor tour guide experience.
We were so looking forward to our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Naples with a first-ever visit to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. This tour option did not live up to its billing. First, we were told to meet someone at the cruise port security area at a certain time wearing a red cap. Since she chose to carry her cap rather than wear it, we were challenged to find her. The morning organization of all of the groups was also chaotic. It was as if the guide facilitators were surprised to need to organize so many people. Our Pompeii tour guide, Roberto, was late showing up which could have contributed to the hurried nature of the actual tour. Roberto seemed like a very nice person, but his fluency in English was not at the level of a tour guide for Pompeii in my opinion. At the time of this tour, we had just experienced excellent tours on this trip (in Athens, Naxos, Rome, etc) and we try to give as much grace to a guide where English is not his primary language. But he was impossible to understand. So we were needing to look things up on our phones so that the tour wasn’t a complete waste. The second half of the day was slightly better. We boarded a bus to Vesum Pizza for our pizza lunch. Two pizza options and a drink were provided. The margarita pizza was delicious and easily the highlight of the entire tour package. We did sit in one large group at one table and our family of 3 was unable to sit together. We then proceeded to the entrance to Mt Vesuvius National Park for the 3/4 mile hike to the top. We love hikes and in the hot July weather we were enjoying it; however, not much instruction was provided to others in the group as the grade of the hike is pretty intense. Our driver was also very nice but an extremely aggressive driver throughout the journey. Maybe someone else will have a different experience with a different guide on a different day, but I’d be nervous that if that’s the case, the quality and consistency of the experience is then not in a good place. I’d strongly recommend that one keep exploring other options.
Response from the operator: Guide is a new one, we won't use him again. Thanks for reporting. Regards

The AC didnt work!!!!
Overall it was great but you advertise an air-conditioned mini bus ride. The ride there was excellent the ride back in the bigger mini bus was horrible!! The AC didn't work and after hiking the volcano an AC ride back would have made it perfect. We were sweating profusely in the bus, it was horrible. You need to fix the AC in that thing.

Fun day, little communication.
Really great experience! Our tour guide through Pompei (Berny) was extremely knowledgeable and fun. However, communication on how the day would go was not there. We were questioning each step of the way. A lot of bus and group changes as went from one activity to the other but no real issues.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $14 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 2,918 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch?
+
Around 1,021 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Private Amalfi Coast Tour from Sorrento/Naples/Salerno, Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
