The driving was perfect. The guiding was fun and everything perfect apart from that the guide went forward at one time with only half of the group. Luckily it was possible to call one of those who left with her to find out where to go! What we didn't like is that the tour was advertised to start with a pick up at 7:30 but didn't start until 55 minutes later. We only got to know that the tour was to start at 8:30 when another group was picked up from the same company around 8:10. After waiting 40 minutes.

I only received half of the tour I had paid for; 6 other people didn't show up on the day so they cancelled the Amalfi Coast portion of the tour. I was advised I would receive a refund for the unused portion of the tour within 48 hours, however, I have yet to receive the funds or any correspondence related to the refund. The company was very disorganised in navigating the situation. I was told just as I arrived in Pompeii that there was a possibility that the tour would be cancelled due to the no-shows. They advised me to spend 2 hours in Pompeii then come back and they would let me know what was happening. I rushed around Pompeii, returned when asked, and was told the Amalfi coast was cancelled and that I could do it the next day. I had to decline this offer as I was leaving the next day. This is when the tour manager told me I would receive a refund for the unused portion of the tour and they would transfer me back to Naples. However, I had to wait just under 3 hours for the transfer, this time could've been used further exploring Pompeii if they had navigated the situation better.

Let me start with the positive. The 1st driver we had was great. His name was Alessawdro. He was one of the best tour guides we had on our trip and he was just a driver. Here are the problems: 1. The location that we were told to meet was wrong. After the driver called we had to run 500-600 meters to a new pick up point. Not a good way to start the day. I see on your app you have updated the meet up point. 2. The tour we signed up for stated lunch was included. It was not. When I called your company the girl I spoke with, I belive her name was Amy, agreed that lunch was included. Your company emailed me back and stated lunch was not included. Because of these two problems this tour was not a positive experience. If you want to get in touch with me feel free to call 630-220-2455 or email me at billenorris@gmail.com

Pompeii was very beautiful, and I'm glad we got to experience it. Still had to wait in a bit of a line, however much shorter than the actual ticket line. It was busy, but there were some points where there was no one else near us. It made for good photo opportunities.

I purchased tickets long before my chosen day to go to Pompeii. The day I arrived I found out that admission was free as it was the first Sunday of the month. Or at any rate it was June 2. I contacted the site explaining the incident and within a few days they refunded me the full amount. I was very pleased. Congratulations. I will reuse this application as soon as I can.

I spent HOURS of time looking at tours, reading reviews and weighing one against the other. I am so glad i purchased this tour for our family of 5 (2 adults, 20 year old and 18 year old). Our tour guide - a third generation tour guide - was FABULOUS. He hit the right mix of funny , historically accurate and culturally insightful. He made it personal to the entire group and worked hard to make sure everyone felt included and connected.

Everything was so easy! From booking to meeting place. I was even contacted by WhatsApp to avoid the inconvenience of a free day at pompei which would have been a very busy day. The guided tour was efficient and very interesting. In short, a faultless tour. Thanks to the whole team (I was initially worried when I booked, reading some of the comments). For us: it was perfect!

Obviously it's good to save a bit by buying dual tickets. That said it seems a bit daft that at Pompeii you have to queue to change from a digital ticket to a paper one to get in. Surely this needs updating to save everyone time and money.

Great day exploring two very unique UNESCO historical archealogical sites as part of our honeymoon in Italy! We started at the Herculaneum first thing in the morning and were among the first visitors for the day. This was awesome as we avoided lots of crowds and school groups as we explored the ruins and followed our own self guided tour. The preservation of the artefacts was phenomenal and we were able to see active digging/restoration as we explored. We then went to Pompeii in the afternoon and again enjoyed a walk through history following a self-guided audio tour through the ancient city. We weren't able to skip-the-line at Pompeii as advertised by the booking and had to join the general queue to get out tickets from the voucher. We drove to both sites and parking was easily found - even in the afternoon when it was quite busy at Pompeii.

You can't get in without queuing because you have to collect your tickets on site, but it was still okay. The Plus Ticket was good for the additional opportunity to see the Mystery Villa for the really impressive murals, the Archeologicum was unfortunately closed. It makes sense to plan a whole day to visit the excavations, including arrival and departure, comfortable shoes are also highly recommended. The archaeological finds from Pompeii are best seen in the National Museum in Naples.

Visiting Pompeii was a fantastic experience! Everything went smoothly, though, as expected, it was quite crowded with tourists. However, the journey from Naples was memorable – the train ride was made special by an accordionist playing traditional Italian music, and the passengers clapping along. I’m not sure if this happens all the time, but it added a lovely touch to the trip. Naples itself is vibrant, with delicious food and plenty to see. Pompeii is a treasure trove of history, offering stunning sights perfect for photos and an incredible opportunity to learn about the past. Highly recommended!

Clean, air conditioned train with direct access to Pompeii archaeological park. It is much more expensive than the circumvesuviana train, but definitely worth the price. When you arrive at the train station, go to the information (not the ticket) desk and show the attendant your ticket and they will escort you and others right to the train you are scheduled to be on.

I could not pront the ticket. Also there was a line to enter the train while on platform, and the conductors wanted to scam my ticket before i enter the train. Never had this cumbersome experience before.

Pompeii was very beautiful, and I'm glad we got to experience it. Still had to wait in a bit of a line, however much shorter than the actual ticket line. It was busy, but there were some points where there was no one else near us. It made for good photo opportunities.

I purchased tickets long before my chosen day to go to Pompeii. The day I arrived I found out that admission was free as it was the first Sunday of the month. Or at any rate it was June 2. I contacted the site explaining the incident and within a few days they refunded me the full amount. I was very pleased. Congratulations. I will reuse this application as soon as I can.

Obviously it's good to save a bit by buying dual tickets. That said it seems a bit daft that at Pompeii you have to queue to change from a digital ticket to a paper one to get in. Surely this needs updating to save everyone time and money.

Great day exploring two very unique UNESCO historical archealogical sites as part of our honeymoon in Italy! We started at the Herculaneum first thing in the morning and were among the first visitors for the day. This was awesome as we avoided lots of crowds and school groups as we explored the ruins and followed our own self guided tour. The preservation of the artefacts was phenomenal and we were able to see active digging/restoration as we explored. We then went to Pompeii in the afternoon and again enjoyed a walk through history following a self-guided audio tour through the ancient city. We weren't able to skip-the-line at Pompeii as advertised by the booking and had to join the general queue to get out tickets from the voucher. We drove to both sites and parking was easily found - even in the afternoon when it was quite busy at Pompeii.

We loved everything. The shopping experience was easy and simple, what should be improved especially in this kind of places is the entrance. It doesn't make much sense to buy online and then wait in line if there is even a QR code. Other than that, perfect.

A herculanum super experience We received our tickets by e-mail the day before and were able to go straight in. In Pompeii, however, we had to queue up again at the cash desk to transform our mail pass into a ticket with a qr code. It took us 1 hour

The sight itself is stunning! However, I planned to buy a ticket to Pompeji online, but I was not able to do that. I had to buy a voucher and once there I was supposed to queue up and exchange the voucher for a ticket. Why?

Visiting Pompeii was a fantastic experience! Everything went smoothly, though, as expected, it was quite crowded with tourists. However, the journey from Naples was memorable – the train ride was made special by an accordionist playing traditional Italian music, and the passengers clapping along. I’m not sure if this happens all the time, but it added a lovely touch to the trip. Naples itself is vibrant, with delicious food and plenty to see. Pompeii is a treasure trove of history, offering stunning sights perfect for photos and an incredible opportunity to learn about the past. Highly recommended!

Pompeii was great and was good to have tickets in advance, though still had to queue to redeem. We opt out for tickets without the guide as we like to go at our own pace, but one day was not enough for us to see everything, and maybe next time we get the guide as well to learn more. Visit to archaeology museum is a must as well as many frescoes are on display there.

The site of Pompeï and Herculaneum were impressive and a must do when you visit Naples or like us, Rome. You really get the feeling when you walk around, what it would be like to live in that time and with the Vesuvius constant in your sight... it is just horrifiyng to imagine what happend almost 2000 years ago

Herculaneum is, as everyone told us, wonderful. Pompeii is so big and busy that it's quite tiring. But it was well worth it. We are from the UK and we have Roman remains at home, but nothing like this. Herculaneum is easy to access and the antiquarium is great. There are places to sit and just take it all in, whereas Pompeii is more full-on. The tickets worked well.

The place is so huge and interesting! You can see so much whilst always seeing Mount Vesuvius in the background The only thing that made the experience "good" not "awesome" overall was the fact that you still have to stand in line to redeem your tickets - although they tell you to come earlier since the crowds supposedly arrive around noon or later, we had a feeling that that wasn't the case at all. Whilst leaving around 12PM, there were less people waiting in line than at 9/10AM when we arrived.

- The most popular option is to take the Circumvesuviana train from Napoli Centrale to Pompei Scavi-Villa dei Misteri station. It’s affordable and runs frequently, making it a convenient choice for most travelers. Though, it can become crowded during peak hours, and seating isn’t guaranteed.
- For a more comfortable ride, the Campania Express is a tourist train with fewer stops, air-conditioning, and direct service to Pompeii, though it runs less frequently, typically a few times a day. It's a bit pricey but worth the extra cost for comfort and ease.
Best for: Budget travel

Top Sorrento toursFrequently asked questions about Naples to Pompeii day trip
How far is Pompeii from Naples?
Pompeii is about 25 km from Naples, easily accessible by car, bus, or train.
What’s the best way to get from Naples to Pompeii—train, bus, or tour?
The best way to get from Naples to Pompeii is via a guided tour. While most people usually take the Circumvesuviana train, as it is direct, affordable, and takes about 35 minutes, guided tours offer a seamless experience with round-trip transfers, skip-the-line entry, and expert guides. This way you can focus entirely on exploring Pompeii and gaining in-depth knowledge, enhancing your visit.
What’s the difference between visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum?
Pompeii is larger and offers a broader view of Roman urban life, with extensive ruins and plaster casts of victims. Herculaneum, on the other hand, is better preserved due to being buried under a thicker layer of ash, showcasing vibrant frescoes and intact wooden structures. Herculaneum also has fewer crowds, making it a more intimate experience.
Can I visit both Pompeii and Herculaneum in one day?
Yes! We offer tours that cover both sites in one day, complete with transfers and expert guides.
Would combining my visit to Pompeii with other nearby attractions be too tiring?
Combining Pompeii with nearby attractions like Mount Vesuvius or Herculaneum is feasible but yes, it can be tiring. If you do plan to visit both Pompeii and Herculaneum, allocate a full day for a more relaxed experience. Consider your pace and energy levels, especially in the heat. Needless to say, bring along some refreshments and lots of water.
Are guided tours worth the extra cost?
Guided tours can streamline your experience with convenient transportation, priority access and exclusive insights about historic Pompeii and its subsidiary sites like Herculaneum and Vesuvius. They are especially beneficial for first-time visitors.
Are there food options available at Pompeii, or should I bring snacks?
There are limited food options within the archaeological site, so it’s advisable to bring snacks and water. After your visit, you can find restaurants in the nearby town of Pompeii.
What’s the weather like at Pompeii and how should I prepare?
Pompeii can be hot in summer (30°C/86°F or higher) and mild in spring and fall (15-25°C/59-77°F). Prepare by wearing comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes, and bringing sun protection and water. Spring and fall are ideal for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
What should I bring on a day trip?
Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, water, and a hat are recommended.
Can I bring children on the Naples to Pompeii day trip?
Yes, children are welcome on the Naples to Pompeii day trip. However, keep in mind that the day can be long and involves a lot of walking, which may be tiring for younger children. The experience is best suited for kids aged 6 and up, who can appreciate the history and engage with the site.

While the core itinerary is set, customization is possible. Options include adding coastal stops like Sorrento, Amalfi, Herculaneum or exploring Mount Vesuvius. Some day trip options even offer lunch.
Is Pompeii wheelchair accessible or suitable for people with limited mobility?

Pompeii was very beautiful, and I'm glad we got to experience it. Still had to wait in a bit of a line, however much shorter than the actual ticket line. It was busy, but there were some points where there was no one else near us. It made for good photo opportunities.

Go there. Fantastic. Bring water and walk slowly. Consider the official audio guide. Or use AI (like fx ChatGPT) for very precise guidance. Very hot June to August.

The tour was absolutely amazing. Our archeologist guide Teresa was phenomenal. Her knowledge and passion for Pompeii was contagious. She talked the history, the people, and when walking around painted a picture of how this ancient civilisation operated. We learnt tonnes of cool things about the buildings, excavations and saw everything that was open on the tour. Also learnt about the people, the volcano and how the 1000 bodies were found and why they may have remained on Pompeii.
I hadn't heard about the villa of mysteries and this was a super valuable experience as well. To see an excavation site being worked on was super cool and to see the frescos on the walls was amazing.
Highly recommend this tour. Super informative and interesting. Thanks again to Teresa who was the absolute best. Could have listened to her talk for hours about Pompeii.

Christian may be the best bus driver in the world! My guy has got skills, not only did he get us there and back I was so impressed I just had to tip him 20 Euro for a safe travel day! Mara was incredible, friendly and outgoing, she was extremely knowledgeable not only about destinations but sites along the way. She enhanced the ride by providing us music that was born from the locations she was telling us about giving us a deeper appreciation for the entire country of Italy and not just our paid destination spots! I would definitely recommend these two together if you're lucky enough to get them!
