Pompeii Day Trip

  • 3,090 reviews | 27,864 travellers
    Our guide Michela was a sweetheart, super cute and attentive to giving us tips for the rest of our stay in Rome. The guide in Pompeii was also very good and with extensive knowledge. The bus was comfortable and with adequate temperature. The worst thing was the food, the worst pizza I have ever had was the one they gave us as part of the tour in Naples; and the service of the waiter in the restaurant they took us to was also bad.

Pompeii & Naples Day Trip

At the indicated time, we'll set off from the Italian capital and cross Rome’s fertile landscape and the area of the castles called Castelli Romani. Montecassino is one of the little towns of the region, where the Battle of Monte Cassino took place during World War II.

After a 3-hour drive, we'll arrive in the capital of Campania and embark on a panoramic tour of Naples. From the bus, we'll pass by iconic landmarks including the Vomero and Posillipo districts, Egg Castle, the Royal Palace, and Via Marina.

It'll then be time to take a 2-hour long historical tour through the ruins of Pompeii. We'll explore this city, which was buried under tons of volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, killing 2,000 inhabitants. The town was discovered 1,700 years later and now is a remarkably well-preserved archaeological site where you’ll get a real sense of how life was in an ancient Roman colony.

After the tour of Pompeii, we'll return to the capital of Italy. Arrival in Rome is scheduled 12 hours after pickup. As a rule, we'll say goodbye in Piazza della Repubblica.

You can also reserve the tour without pickup. If you choose this option, we'll pick you up directly from in front of the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martri.
