Guidekin's take

Pompeii and Herculaneum in one day with archaeologist guides and both entrance fees in the price, pickup and drop off in Naples, and lunch sold as a tier.

The Vesuvius crater is not on the route, it runs in all weather, and the minimum party rises in winter. 4.67 from 249 reviews for 8h.

In our comparison: #52 of 63 in Day Trips from Naples, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
