Highlights

  • Travel stress-free with round-trip air-conditioned coach or minivan transfers and a central Naples pick-up point: no logistics to figure out, no trains to catch, just show up and go.
  • Follow your expert guide through Pompeii's vast archaeological site with skip-the-line entry, moving through the Forum, ancient baths, taverns, and bakeries, and pausing at the haunting plaster casts that capture the city's final moments in extraordinary detail.
  • Step into Herculaneum for a quieter, more intimate chapter of the same story. Intact villas, vivid mosaics, carbonised wooden furniture, and everyday objects that survived the eruption in a way Pompeii's never could.
  • Cover two of the most significant archaeological sites in the world in a single, well-paced day, without the planning, the ticket queues, or the guesswork of doing it independently.
  • Tailor the day to your group: add a sit-down lunch between the two sites to break up the visit, or upgrade to a live archaeologist guide at either or both sites for deeper context and a richer understanding of what you're actually looking at.

Your Experience

Step back in time on a guided day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum, exploring two ancient Roman cities buried by Vesuvius, with expert insights, smooth transfers, and the option to add a traditional Italian lunch.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the designated point in Naples. Look for the Askos Tours sign, validate your ticket, and follow your tour leader. Restrooms and a short stop are available at the cameo factory before entering Pompeii.

What to expect

Pompeii

One of the world’s most famous archaeological parks, frozen in time by the eruption of 79 AD.

  • Explore a temple, market, shop, villa, bathhouse, theater, and the Forum.

  • Skip-the-line entry ensures more time inside the ruins.

  • Flexible route: your guide selects sites based on crowd levels and opening hours.

Cameo factory

An introduction to the Roman art of cameo jewelry.

  • Watch artisans carve shells and gemstones.

  • Restrooms available before entering the ruins.

Herculaneum

Smaller but even better preserved than Pompeii.

  • Admire the House of the Deer, House with Atrium mosaics, and Neptune & Amphitrite mosaics.

  • See rare wooden beams, mosaics, and intact thermal baths.

Upgrades

  • Add a sit-down Italian lunch between site visits.

  • Choose an archaeologist-led tour for deeper insights, or opt for an audio guide for flexibility.
