Cruise passengers arriving in the port of Naples can explore legendary Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius, the only active volcano in continental Europe, on this full-day guided tour from Naples. It is a shore excursion not to be missed by any visitor to this region of Italy and includes both a guided tour of Pompeii's haunting ruins and a climb to the smoking summit of volcanic Mt Vesuvius.

The hike up Vesuvius is great. I thought the tour spent too much time at Pompeii leaving little time for Vesuvius. Tour guide was well informed, but very soft and dull. So was a bit of a strain listening in and keep interest levels high. Lunch was ok…avoid the pasta. :)

A great value!
The reviews stating that it was disorganized must not know how to follow directions.
Off a cruise, you need to walk past the security shack to the roundabout just before the Main Street (you’ll know you’re in the right place because of the dozens of bickering cab drivers).
Board bus to Pompeii. The Pompeii tour was good (lots of walking). Then you get to eat at a restaurant (included- choose from pizza, pasta or salad).
Then board bus to Vesuvius (scary drive up a narrow mountain trail). Stop at limoncello shop for samples (be mindful of alcohol limits on cruise ships).
1.5 hour to climb/descend Vesuvius (just enough time with a 5-year-old). Bring drinks and euros, credit card may not work at summit shop.

Seeing Pompeii. The guide was knowledgeable and went at a good pace.
Unfortunately we couldn’t go all the way up to the volcano due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control. On the ride back to the ship it would have been nice if the new tour guide had shared her knowledge a bit more.

Must do when visiting Naples. What a feeling of accomplishment when climbing to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. Note: No restrooms are there.
Pompeii was not what I expected. In a good way.
Pizza was the best in all Italy ports

The excursion was excellent. We took a bus up to Mt Vesuvius and hiked to the top for the amazing views. Then on to an excellent tour of Pompei. Lunch was excellent. Them main improvement would be for the tour to provide some cool water. It was a very hot day and a nice cool water after the hike and again after walking around Pompei would have been excellent.

Very well organised, Verauvius in the heat was hard, but Limoncello shop stop before made it easier, great tasting and surprising ingredients! Pizza lunch break also ideal, fantastic, huge pizza! Pompeii guide Miguel was great, lots of fun and made sure we stopped in the shade wherever we could, very eye opening. A fantastic memory moment. Rosa made it very easy to fit it all in plus get back before the ship sailed.

What an amazing excursion. Rosa was great and kept everything organized. They say you get a slice of pizza, but the pizza was like a medium size in the United States. It was delicious. The tour at the Volcano was good and Pompeii was also amazing. Our tour guide Mikael was funny and very informative. I would rate this a 10 :)

Guides were professional. They managed time we’ll and responded to questions easily. Especially nice was the attention Michael paid to the children. He kept them close to him and made sure they were able to ask questions.
