Overview

Choose the easiest-to-handle tour because it gives most of the site’s impressions in just two hours.
If you are in Naples area and you still have some time left before you leave, a visit in Pompeii can be your best choice.

During this tour you will be guided through the intricate maze of streets and buildings which were destroyed overnight by the massive Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD and then covered by a thick layer of ashes and pumices until their excavations in modern times.

The guide will show you the best highlights like the Forum – the main square of the city –, the main houses and buildings. You’ll also stop to see the plaster casts – the dead bodies of the Pompeiians emerged by the excavations.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
