From Naples: Pompeii Guided Tour with Round-Trip Transfers

About this experience

From Naples: Pompeii Guided Tour with Optional Herculaneum or Vesuvius Visit This guided tour from Naples takes you directly to the archaeological treasures of Pompeii, where expert guides bring ancient Roman life back to life among the remarkably preserved ruins. Walk along original Roman streets and explore the city that was frozen in time by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The tour includes round-trip transport from Naples and the option to extend your day with visits to Herculaneum or a hike up Vesuvius itself. Your guide leads you through Pompeii's most significant sites, including the Civil Forum (the city's main square), the imposing Basilica where public and legal proceedings took place, and the Temple of Jupiter. You'll discover the well-preserved Forum Baths and explore the House of the Menander, a grand villa that showcases how Pompeii's wealthy residents lived. The tour also takes in the world's oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre and reveals original frescoes and statues that survived nearly 2,000 years under volcanic ash.
