Itinerary

Most day trips to Pompeii from Rome take 12 or more hours and involve 6 to 8 hours sitting on a cramped bus. Our all-inclusive tour by high-speed train will have you traveling with the utmost comfort, quality, and convenience. We'll reach Naples in one hour, and from there — in just 35 minutes by private coach — we arrive at the ancient ruins of Pompeii where your expert local guide will amaze you during a walking tour of this city devastated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79.

Experience a world frozen in time as you stroll along the cobblestone ancient roads where perfectly conserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, residences, public baths, and even brothels remain! Take in the tragic plaster casts of the Pompeiians who were immortalized on that devastating day by pyroclastic flow and ash.

Upon conclusion of the guided tour in Pompeii, visit a prize-winning vineyard nearby to taste four of the wines produced in the fertile volcanic soil of Mt. Vesuvius followed by a leisurely light lunch where local specialties take center stage. After enjoying an abundance of antipasti, a first course, and dessert your driver will transfer you to Naples for the return trip to Rome by high-speed train.
