Local operator · Naples, Piazza Garibaldi
A bus from Piazza Garibaldi, a guide and the ticket for the Pompeii excavations; with the full-day option you also go up Vesuvius and have lunch with pizza. It makes sense if you are staying in Naples and want transport, entry and guide in one booking.
This day trip departs from the entrance of Starhotels Terminus, Piazza Garibaldi 91 in Naples, and returns to the same point. The bus is air-conditioned and has live commentary on board; in Pompeii, a local guide takes you through the streets of the city buried in AD 79. The ticket for the excavations is included in all options.
The point to understand before booking: Vesuvius and lunch only exist in the full-day option. In that formula, you climb to about 1,000 metres to see the crater, with a one-and-a-half-hour walk; then lunch with pizza and drinks at a local restaurant, and finally Pompeii. The ticket for the Vesuvius National Park is in the list of inclusions with a value, according to the listing, of €11.68 per person. The shorter option, about 3.5 hours, includes neither the volcano nor lunch.
The price starts from $59 per person (October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. The official Pompeii ticket costs €20 (Pompei Express) or €25 (Pompei+), on Vivaticket or at the ticket offices inside the Park, named and non-refundable; the listing does not specify which of the two is included. The departure time is indicative: the agency contacts you with the exact time and meeting point.
Meet the driver at the entrance of Starhotels Terminus, Piazza Garibaldi 91. The exact time is communicated by the agency.
Only in the full-day option: a walk up to about 1,000 meters, to the crater, with some explanations from a local guide about the volcano's history.
Pizza and drinks at a local restaurant, only and always in the full-day option.
A local guide accompanies you through the Forum, Lupanar, Thermopolium, and Stabian Baths: baths, bakeries, theaters, frescoes, and mosaics.
The bus takes you back to the same departure point, in Piazza Garibaldi.

★★★★★Margarita was a fun guide during the transfer, and Elena was great in Pompeii. Very prepared and clear.
