    Full description

    Take an amazing journey back in time on this day tour to the archaeological ruins of Pompeii from Rome. Travel through the Italian countryside and enjoy incredible views of the Mediterranean, Mount Vesuvius, and countless historic sites.

    Be picked up at a central location in Rome and board an air-conditioned bus with plenty of legroom. Enjoy rolling hills on the drive to Naples. Stop to take in this Mediterranean city which is famous for its rich history, art, culture, and gastronomy. 

    Drive up the Vomero hill for views of the city, the bay of Naples, the Sorrento peninsula, and the volcanic area of Phlegrean fields. The skyline is dominated by the majestic and still-active volcano Vesuvius, the perfect spot to take photos of this stunning landmark.

    Continue down towards the port of Mergellina, and travel south towards Mount Vesuvius and the town of Pompeii. Stop for a traditional lunch of Neapolitan pizza with a drink before reaching the archaeological site. 

    Head to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pompeii and enter with skip-the-line tickets. Spend the afternoon exploring this once-thriving city that was frozen in time by layers of volcanic ash. 

    Wander through the ancient streets and learn about the history of this place from your guide. After your tour of Pompeii, enjoy the leisurely return trip to your meeting point in Rome.

    It was a long day but well worth it. Great guides and a very skilful driver. Learnt a lot and Pompeii was amazing. Rosella looked after us on the coach. Cannot remember the guide around Pompeii but she was very good. Would not do Pompeii without a guide so pay the extra, also includes a pizza lunch. It was not cheap but we felt it was well worth the cost. Can only recommend.

    At the collection point we were received by the staff who guided us to the right bus and then it was just a matter of sitting back and being transported. We were met by committed and skilled guides with a lot of knowledge about Naples and Pompeii. The only thing that disappointed a little was the restaurant where we had lunch. We were put in a large room with a lot of others and then it was salad, pizza and ice cream on the assembly line. We had hoped for some genuine Neapolitan atmosphere outside in the Italian sun.

    Very nice way to discover Pompeii by day starting from Rome, an unforgettable experience, well organized with the necessary break times and a great passionate guide (thanks Vittorio!) Too bad the guide had to manage two different languages, which made the excursion all the shorter: two hours on site in the ruins seems a bit tight to enjoy this incredible site as much as you wish
