Air-conditioned bus transfer from Pompeii to Vesuvius with Vesuvio National Park entry. Reach the crater rim fast, then return easy.
“Everything went smoothly from booking, meeting the guide, getting to the Vesuvio park. The hike is not too hard, but not super easy, so make sure to wear something easy for hiking.”

A 6-hour day tour pairing a skip-the-line guided walk in Pompeii with an included bus and hike to Vesuvius crater views.
“Wanted to book trip with Vesuvius connection in case of hassles with local buses (had that going from amalfi to ravello). This one started and finished at Pompeii so still saved using train from Sorrento on cheap ticket 2.40e - beware you will not be able to use the express with this ticket but not much quicker and much dearer 15e). Was not bothered about getting a guide but glad we did. She was excellent - good knowledge, covered a fair amount and very pleasant. Still had to wait to get started but only about 10-15 mins - had to get tickets for some young folk. Transfer to vesuvius very…”

“The stuff was super friendly, the trip was very interesting, we saw a lot of things, the busses drove well and the ride was peaceful.”
Private one-way transfer from Naples to Positano with meet-and-greet pickup, an English-speaking driver, smart routing, and optional Pompeii stops.
“Hey it’s a private transfer and they did what they are there to do. Our little hiccup was their vehicle for us broke down…therefore we were to wait, which turned out to be around an hour, for another couple landing and to be transferred with them. Giuseppe did great on our hour to hour and a half drove from Naples to positano. Being that late it was just difficult to tell our air bnb host an accurate time of arrival since in Italy they meet you at the air bnb. Would book again though.”
Round-trip from Pompeii to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii ruins with skip-the-line tickets and an audio guide for self-paced exploring.
“We enjoyed our tour, however in the extreme July heat the hike up Vesuvius and several hours exploring Pompeii was definitely tiring. Be prepared with lots of water. The guide at the top of Vesuvius told us it was going to be 15-20 minute tour around the crater but it went longer so we had to leave the group before it was done so that we’d have time to get back down to the bus at the correct meeting time. All in all though, good value. We learned lots about the history of Vesuvius and Pompeii and enjoyed our half day trip.”

Skip-the-line Pompeii ticket with audio guide, updated map, and roundtrip Naples transfer—6 hours total with a self-paced 3-hour ruin visit.
“Transfert confortable en minibus ou van Billets d'entrée à Pompéi + audioguide ok Personnel sympathique A mon sens, un inconvénient à signaler: durée sur place (Pompéi) peut-être trop longue, notamment en plein été, avec la grosse chaleur (sachant que nous avons fait une visite de 3h du site archéologique... et qu'il nous restait 2 h à attendre le bus pour le retour). Donc si souhait de retour anticipé à Naples (pour découvrir cette ville), prévoir de payer 90€ en supplément pour un taxi privé.”

A 6-hour bus tour pairing an express, guided Pompeii visit with a Vesuvius crater hike option, including admission tickets and transfers.
“It is a great way to see part of Pompeii but you don’t have enough time there before you have the get the bus to Mount Vesuvius. Our guide was good but you don’t see the Colosseum. This is a ver big sight and I wish the tour would have started earlier so there was more time in Pompeii with out the guide. Also be aware that it is a 20 min hike to the top of Vesuvius if you are physically fit.”
Private English-driver day from Pompeii to Sorrento and Amalfi Coast with flexible stops, scenic drives, and key villages like Amalfi and Ravello.
“We contacted Vincenzo prior to our tour on May 9, 2017 to confirm and to go over the schedule. Vincenzo responded promptly and was very reassuring. Giuseppe, who was our guide and driver picked us up at our hotel in Naples on time with a spacious, comfortable and super clean van. He was so knowledgable about the region and provided us with some interesting details only locals know. The drive along the Amalfi Coast wasn't for the faint of heart, but Giuseppe handled it with such expertise and grace. We were filled with wonders and awes during the entire trip rather than motion sickness or fear. He knows the areas…”
Private driver from Naples plus skip-the-line access to Herculaneum, with options for self-guided time or a local expert guide.
“This was an extremely enlightening excursion, whilst not the cheapest, it was worth every penny of the price, door-to-door private car transfer with an excellent driver, who was courteous and polite and spoke excellent English and then a private guide at Herculaneum. Tomaso, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions that we had perfectly, extremely professional about his knowledge of the site, couldn’t fault the day at all and appreciated the call from the office to inform us of the slight delay in being picked up because of traffic, extremely courteous, thank you to everybody who gave us a fantastic experience!”
