Pompeii is the ruin that works with kids: real streets, a bakery, the casts. The 15 below cover entry with an archaeologist, the day trips from Naples, Sorrento and Rome, and the combos that add Vesuvius or the Amalfi coast.

“Lived up to expectations. Extraordinary to wander around these ancient Roman streets and sense what life would have been like in a Roman town.”
Naples day trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius with guided ruins, pizza lunch, and a crater-edge walk over the Bay of Naples.
“1.5 hours at the top of Vesuvius was just enough to leisurely walk around and take a dozen photos, no rush. 2.5 hours in Pompeii was plenty, but not nearly enough to see everything. We missed a bit a guide there, but the audioguide was fine and we managed to get around. The complimentary shots if limoncello was a nice 👌 too. Pizza was delicious.”

“Amazing❤️ Super good value for money, worth every penny. Driven all the way to Pompeii with pleasant breaks in the journey, tickets to enter, a guide around Pompeii, driven to sorrento for free time as well as limoncello tasting (amongst other tastings). We also had very reasonably priced tasty pizza, pastry and drink in a restaurant for lunch. Day was well paced and full of good fun and unforgettable experiences. Natascia was our guide, she made the trip extra special, she was so lovely and helpful. She offered us tips for being around Italy which we were very grateful for since this was our first day in Rome. Francesco was…”

See Pompeii with skip-the-line priority and a real guide, then ride the Amalfi Coast to Positano for a taste of seaside Italy.
“This was a great day trip from Rome to Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Positano. Our guide, Flavio, was incredibly personable and knowledgeable, and our driver, Julius, was excellent. Flavio also shared helpful tips on other places to visit and offered useful safety recommendations. Both Flavio and Julius were very organized and kept the tour on schedule. The tour included a few unnecessary stops (such as the limoncello factory), and there was a bit too much time spent on the bus. That said, both the guide and driver did an outstanding job overall. I highly recommend this tour for a day outside of Rome.”
