Pompeii & Naples: Half-Day Shared Tour from Naples with Skip-the-Line Ticket

Make the most of your time in Campania with this half-day shared tour, combining two must-see destinations: the ancient city of Pompeii and the vibrant city of Naples. Begin by meeting local staff at the designated point in Naples and travel to Pompeii, once a thriving seaside city of around 20,000 residents before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The volcanic eruption buried the city in ash and pumice, preserving buildings, streets, everyday objects, and even natural molds of bodies, providing an extraordinary insight into life in ancient Rome. With a professional licensed guide and skip-the-line entrance ticket, you will explore key areas, including the Forum, the House of the Vettii, and the Lupanar, learning how Pompeii’s residents lived, worked, and spent their leisure time almost 2,000 years ago.

After visiting Pompeii, return to Naples to explore some of the city’s main highlights with the guidance of local staff. Discover the Maschio Angioino (New Castle) in the Town Hall Square area, then head to the Posillipo district where a panoramic terrace near the Church of Sant’Antonio offers sweeping views of Naples and the Bay of Naples. Continue to Piazza del Plebiscito to admire the Royal Palace and the neoclassical Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, and explore nearby landmarks such as the historic Galleria Umberto I and the exterior of Teatro San Carlo, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious opera houses. This half-day tour provides an essential yet complete overview of Pompeii and Naples, with all logistics and local support organized for a smooth and enriching experience.
