Guidekin's take

Pompeii and the Vesuvius crater in one day from Naples: skip the line into the ruins for a walk with an archaeologist, then up the volcano with the ticket included.

Lunch sits in the lunch tiers only, and a live guide inside Pompeii runs from six participants, otherwise an audioguide at the same price. 4.72 from 3,485 reviews for 8h.

In our comparison: #54 of 63 in Day Trips from Naples, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
