About this activity

Explore the geologically dramatic Phlegrean Fields in a private 8-hour tour from Naples, visiting the still-active Solfatara volcanic crater, the Roman amphitheatre of Flavian, and the ancient port cities of Cuma and Pozzuoli. This guided journey reveals layers of Roman history and volcanic landscape rarely seen in standard city tours, with personalised transport and flexible pacing.

Depart from your Naples hotel or cruise port and head towards the Phlegrean fiels (Campi Flegrei), to discover this fascinating volcanic area. See the Solfatara, and nearby there are a Roman amphitheatre (Flavio) and a museum.
Then head towards Cuma and Pozzuoli, you will spend approx. 1-hour in each place.
One of the most important Roman harbors that is full of remains. You will also be able to walk the narrow streets around the old port and see the restaurants and taste fresh fish.
At the end of your experience, catch your transfer back to your original departure point.

Highlights

  • ✓Walk through the Solfatara crater with active fumaroles and sulphur vents
  • ✓Explore the Flavian Amphitheatre, a well-preserved Roman arena in Pozzuoli

Insider tips

  • ★The Solfatara's volcanic activity is most visible on cooler mornings when steam from vents is more dramatic
  • ★Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes—volcanic ground is uneven and can be slippery; the museum at Solfatara provides helpful context before descending into the crater
  • ★Pozzuoli's waterfront restaurants serve exceptionally fresh local fish at midday; ask your guide for recommendations tied to your group's schedule
  • ★Visit Cuma's hilltop acropolis early in your tour before afternoon heat and crowds build up

Good to know

  • •Private pick-up and drop-off from your Naples hotel or cruise port is included
  • •Bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and water—volcanic areas offer little shade
  • •The Solfatara involves some climbing and uneven terrain; not suitable for those with severe mobility restrictions
  • •Duration is approximately 8 hours; timing allows roughly 1 hour each at Cuma and Pozzuoli, with the remainder split between Solfatara, transport, and the museum
