Starting from either Pompeii or Naples, you’ll have round-trip transfer options. Hike up to the summit of Vesuvius through the national park, where you’ll get jaw-dropping views of the Bay of Naples, its islands, and the lava flows from the last eruption.
Your guide’s insights bring the volcano’s history to life, explaining its dramatic eruptions and their impact. You can also choose to explore the nearby ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, both UNESCO World Heritage sites frozen in time by the AD 79 eruption. Seeing the casts of people and animals preserved in volcanic ash is a haunting and fascinating glimpse into ancient Roman life.
Aside from checking out the incredibly preserved artifacts, you’ll wander through ancient streets, lavish villas, and colorful frescoes that give you a peek into Roman society. It’s an immersive journey through history and nature that makes visiting Mount Vesuvius a unique experience.

These factors contribute to the higher cost but enhance the visit with detailed insights, convenience, and exclusive access to viewpoints and information!
