Private Pompeii Tour by Car from Naples Cruise Port for Up to Four Guests
Four people at most, one guide and a car: this is the slow way to see Pompeii. The guide and driver wait at the exit of the Naples port station with a sign, and the visit inside the archaeological park lasts two and a half hours. The total duration of the tour includes travel time.
The walk starts at the Porta Marina, the most impressive of the seven gates, and continues through the Civil Forum, the Sanctuary of Apollo, the Macellum, the Suburban Baths, the House of the Faun, the Teatro Grande and the Roman amphitheatre. It also takes in Via dell’Abbondanza, the House of the Vettii and one of the bakeries, where the guide explains how bread was made.
The tour suits cruise passengers who want a calm, in-depth visit. Larger cars or minivans are available on request for an extra charge.
