15 Half-Day Tours in Naples Worth Booking

1.Pompei Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,645 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $75Our pick

Review of the Pompeii half-day tour from Naples or Sorrento, with guided ruins, skip-the-line entry, transport, tips, and honest value advice.

“It was brilliant, transfer on time, he even waited at one of the hotels for 15 minutes for a couple who had booked the tour, but they didn’t make it! On arrival there was a lady waiting for us who showed us and our small group to our guide! Roberta was brilliant and very informative and friendly, we were given some free time to look around small parts and also free time at the end to grab a drink. It is mostly guided so if you want a lot of time to explore yourself then don’t book a guided tour. Couldn’t fault it and was value for money”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 137 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $69

Review of a Mt. Vesuvius trip from Naples with crater hike, vineyard lunch, wine tasting, transport, weather cautions, and practical booking advice.

“We overall enjoyed this experience. You get dropped off at the entrance of Vesuvius and are given a certain amount of time to get to the top and back. I think this would be difficult to coordinate on your own. Lorenzo was our guide and he gave us background on Capri, Vesuvius and other areas as you get driven around. Francisco was our driver and he made good on time. Few caveats. Although we requested a specific hotel pick up location, that is not guaranteed. We had to meet them at the port of Naples instead by Bar Pic Nic but thankfully that wasn't too far from our original request…”

“This was worth it. It took me a while to find the guy even though he had a sign with my name on it as stated; it was a little chaotic (not his fault). I really appreciated the tour of San Gennaro. It was very important to me, and this was the only tour I could find that offered it. I was worried about the short length of being at Pompeii, but honestly after an hour and a half in the heat, I was so ready to leave. It was plenty of time, though technically it isn't "enough" time to see the whole thing, it was great. It was a…”
