About this tour
Tackle three of Campania's heavyweight sites in a single eight-hour loop: scale the slopes of Vesuvius, pick through the preserved streets of Pompeii, and navigate Naples' baroque heart. You'll travel by private air-conditioned vehicle with hotel or port collection included, moving at your own pace with hop-on hop-off flexibility. No guide narration—you're reading the landscape yourself. Entrance fees covered.

What to expect
You'll start at your accommodation or port, then drive to Vesuvius for a straightforward walk up the volcanic cone—expect loose pumice underfoot and views across the Tyrrhenian Sea on clear days. Next, Pompeii: you'll wander independently through the archaeological site, seeing carbonised remains, frescoed walls, and the scale of Roman daily life frozen in ash. Finally, Naples offers piazzas, museums, and street energy on your terms. No running commentary, so bring a map or guidebook. Transitions between sites account for most of your eight hours; actual time at each location varies depending on your pace.
Good to know
Wear proper walking shoes for Vesuvius's steep, uneven terrain. Bring water and sun protection. Entrance tickets are included but a guide is not—download an offline map beforehand. Suitable for all fitness levels, though Vesuvius involves sustained climbing. Wheelchair accessible throughout.
