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.

Jean Franco was a skilled and amazing driver manoeuvring the coach like a champ around tight streets and roundabouts. He drove smoothly throughout the whole trip. Mara was the hostess with the mostess, providing interesting facts and clear communication and updates throughout the day. A friendly face and engaging host. Bruno was extremely knowledgeable about the area and Pompeii and walked us through an amazing experience at the archeological park. We had an amazing day out on the trip and worth every cent!

The trip to and subsequent tour in Pompeii was amazing, with a short stop in Napoli Our tour guides Andrea and Sasha were welcoming and informative. We learned so much about the unfortunate events that decimated the town as well as the way the inhabitants lived. Our lunch stop was delightful gave us a chance to meet some of our bus mates and have delicious pizza salad and a small gelato. Our driver Jon luc got us there and back expertly and safely. Highly recommended.
