Groups stay small, arrive a little early, tips are extra. 4.97 from 187 reviews for 2h. **Already at the site?:** At the gate: small group Pompeii walk and ticket, 2h at €42 per person; English only, no Naples transfer. 4.97 from 187 reviews. Trade-off: English only; Naples transfer on its own option.
