Capri and Pompeii Full Day Tour from Naples

Two of southern Italy's most celebrated destinations in a single unforgettable day.

This Capri and Pompeii tour from Naples brings together the sun-drenched glamour of one of the Mediterranean's most iconic islands and the haunting grandeur of an ancient city preserved in volcanic ash. In eight hours, you experience dramatic coastal scenery, Roman history, and the distinct character of two destinations that define the Campania region.

The day begins with a 30-minute hydrofoil crossing from Naples to Capri, a journey that offers striking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the island's limestone cliffs before you even set foot on shore. Once at the Marina Grande, the funicular carries you up into the town of Capri, where narrow lanes, artisanal boutiques, and terrace cafes create an atmosphere found nowhere else in Italy.

Options on Capri are plentiful. You can ride the chair lift from Anacapri to the summit of Monte Solaro for sweeping panoramic views, wander through the Giardini di Augusto to observe the island's celebrated flora, or walk toward the southern coast to see the Faraglioni, three dramatic rock formations rising from the sea. After lunch on the island, the group returns to Naples and transfers by road to Pompeii.

At Pompeii, a knowledgeable guide leads you through the ruins of a city that was buried under volcanic ash in 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius erupted without warning. The very ash that destroyed the town also sealed it from centuries of weathering, meaning the structures, streets, and artifacts uncovered here remain in remarkable condition. Walking through Pompeii is a direct encounter with daily life in the first century Roman world.
