This fascinating day trip is a great way to get to know Naples, old and new, and visit Pompeii, the famous Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. You'll journey through the ages of Western civilisation and experience a vivid snapshot of life in ancient Rome.
First, after a ferry crossing from Casamicciola port and a short bus ride, your guide will lead you through the streets of Pompeii. Buried under volcanic ash, it's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll uncover fascinating stories and visit iconic landmarks, including the thermal baths, the Basilica and the frescoes of the Lupanar. You'll also stop at the Macellum, where the historic shops transport you back in time. A highlight of the tour is visiting the House of Faun, a grand villa named after the statue found within.
After a short break for lunch, you'll explore the centuries-old Naples, where you'll have free time to explore the city centre at your own pace. Later in the afternoon, you'll board the bus back to Casamicciola to catch your ferry and return to your hotel.
