Take a shuttle bus
Daily excursions to Pompeii from Naples are incredibly popular all year round. A shuttle bus is a great middle point for when you don’t want the full expense of a private driver, but still want the convenience that a public bus cannot provide. Go with an insured and trustworthy transportation company, like Daytrip, and ask about accommodations for children’s car seats or handicapped-accessible vans.

Bring a phone battery pack
The last thing you need is a dead phone with no map or camera in a foreign country, so make sure your adventure to Pompeii includes a charging cable and a battery pack. For added battery savings, turn off Bluetooth and internet connectivity when you don’t need it.
