Pompeii and Archaeological Museum- Full day

In our opinion, it is important to couple a visit to Pompeii with a trip to the Archaeological Museum of Naples, as the two sites are perfectly complementary. This full-day, in-depth excursion in the company of a classical historian, archaeologist, or art historian is designed to give you a deep understanding of ancient Roman civilization and its development around the Bay of Naples.

The day begins with either a pick up at your hotel if you are staying in the Naples area or a rendez-vous on the platform in the Naples train station if you are arriving by train from Rome or elsewhere. We then head up to the Pompeii excavations for a 2-3 hour site visit, including (if open) the Villa of the Mysteries. After this, we return to Naples for lunch (usually pizza in a real Neapolitan pizzeria), a constitutional stroll through the heart of the city, and a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Naples, one of the most stunning museums in all of Europe that will round out your understanding of Pompeii and ancient Roman civilization in general.

Note: This tour is priced for two people; but we allow up to seven. There is a €20 charge per person above two.
