Even gave little certificates for completely the course!”

11.Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,901 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $149

Travel from Naples to Pompeii for a two-hour guided visit, then enjoy pizza and a drink before climbing Mount Vesuvius to its crater. Guides such as Elisa, Alba, Michele, Bernadette, Maria, and Santiago have all led highly praised tours, but guide quality and weather can affect the day.

“I'm rating it 5 stars although we couldn't do Vesuvius because it was closed due to pouring rain, logistics went into the dumpster because of the rain, our (Spanish) guide couldn't even arrive and they had to replace our guide, THAT BEING SAID, our guide Santiago was absolutely amazing, I dare say the best possible outcome was getting Santiago, we enjoyed very much our tour in the rain, sadly after the tour you'll want to spend 2 more weeks exploring the ruins with Santiago but we only had 2 hours.”

“Pompei was incredible and the lunch was fabulous. I wasn’t a big fan of Mt Vesuvius. It is a difficult hike at my age (65). Alessandro, our guide, was wonderful.”

The scenery was stunning, and the water was crystal clear! Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. A simple lunch and drinks were also offered on board. This trip left us with amazing memories — highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the true beauty of the Egadi Islands.
