Pompeii & Vesuvius: Day Tour from Naples in Naples - AdobeStock_232291678.jpg

Just outside Naples lies one of Italy’s greatest cultural treasures — and it’s calling your name. Hit the road with your favorite local and get ready to step back in time at Pompeii and witness the raw power of Mount Vesuvius up close!

On this private day trip, forget the crowds and cookie-cutter tours. With a knowledgeable local by your side, you'll explore the world-famous ruins of Pompeii and uncover the hidden details that only a true expert would know — from quiet ancient streets to dramatic remnants of daily Roman life. Then, venture up the slopes of Mount Vesuvius for panoramic views and stories that bring the volcano's epic history to life.

This journey is more than sightseeing — it’s a deep dive into the past, where you'll discover why these places matter so much to locals and to history itself. Your host will share fascinating insights, quirky facts, and the kind of stories you won’t find in a guidebook, all while making the experience feel personal and real.

Each local guide brings their own flair, from historical knowledge to cultural passion, and they can’t wait to share it with you. Want to tweak the route or spend more time at the crater or ruins? Just ask — this tour is all about making it your own.

We had a really good trip to Pompeii with Francesco. He is clearly both passionate and knowledgeable about Pompeii. Showing us quite many highlights in 2 hours - knowing the good photo sites and more quiet corners for us to be. Somehow we avoided feeling in a busy site. Further he went beyond and helped us with tips and planning of the rest of the day. Francesco - Engaged and knowledgeable

Pompeii is mind blowing and made 1000x more real and fascinating by Francesco! Francesco has so much energy and passion for Pompeii (he really has lived nothing else but Pompeii since being in the ruins as a kid!) that it’s infectious. Thank you from Alex and I for making the visit so memorable. Fantastic tour!!

I took my grandson to Pompeii so that he might discover some extraordinary history. With Francesco that was accomplished through his erudition and kindness towards us both, his sense of humour and delightful cheeky expressions! He was a great guide - enthusiastic, patient and kind.

I very much enjoyed my tour with Francesco. I have been to both erculaneum and pompeii but I learned quite a bit more with this tour. Francesco's knowledge and firsthand experience really showed in the tour. He was fun and showed us all the highlights as well and things I had previously not seen. Thanks for a good day.Always more to learn!

What an incredible day. Francesco is not only passionate about archaelogy and history, but he is a lot of fun too. We had thought that seeing both Pompeii and Herculaneum in one day might be too much, but Francesco made sure we saw everything we needed to and was also able to point out some 'hidden' delights. We cannot recommend Francesco highly enough!Superb!

It was a real pleasure to be shown Pompei by Francesco. We were 30 minutes late because of a train delay, yet he could not have been more welcoming and friendly. As a trained archaeologist, he really knew his stuff and was so enthusiastic. Bravo!Great tour with Francesco
