This popular half-day tour incorporates a tour of Naples together with a visit to the ruins of Pompeii – taking you back to the fateful day in 79 AD when neighboring volcano Vesuvius erupted. The air-conditioned transportation departs from and returns to the port entrance, which is a very short distance from where your cruise ship docks.
The tour of Naples includes a trip to the Piazza del Plebiscito to see from the bus the Royal Palace, then go on to see the Town Hall Square and finally, the Egg Castle.
Driving to Pompeii, we’ll enjoy fabulous views of the city of Mount Vesuvius and the beautiful island of Capri to the right. Pompeii was totally destroyed by Vesuvius’s eruption in 79AD, which killed all 20,000 inhabitants of the city. During the 1860s, the site was very carefully excavated, and today visitors can wander the streets, visit the shops and even enter homes left exactly as they were minutes before the disaster.
Experience the immense history of such fascinating sites such as The Forum, the Thermal Bath, the private homes, and possibly the infamous ‘Lupanare’ brothel!
Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. As this tour involves walking on uneven ground, including the negotiation of large slabs on the streets of Pompeii, it is not recommended for guests with mobility difficulties or wheelchair users.
You’ll return to Naples Port with your driver in plenty of time to re-join your cruise ship
