Additional Information

The majority of one-day excursions from Rome to Pompeii require 12 or more hours, including 6 to 8 hours of time spent on a constrained bus.

This comprehensive journey via express train offers the peak of ease, luxury, and efficiency. Arrive in Naples within an hour, and then a brief 35-minute coach ride takes us to Pompeii. Here, a knowledgeable local guide will captivate you with a walking tour through this city, ravaged by Mt. Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 A.D.

Wander the ancient stone-paved streets of a city stuck in time, where wonderfully preserved olden bakeries, shops, stalls, homes, public baths, and even brothels still stand! Witness the melancholic plaster casts of the residents of Pompeii, who were permanently captured on that disastrous day by hot ash and volatile gases.

After the guided exploration, you’ll get to sample four wines cultivated in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of Mt. Vesuvius, along with generous servings of antipasti, a main course, and dessert before heading back to Naples for your homeward journey.

  • This is the best value by far Rome to Pompeii full day excursion! No big bus tour with 50 other people
  • Due to the route covered and/or the means of transportation used, it is not possible to participate in this tour using a wheelchair, scooter, or other aid. Please contact us to inquire about customized tour options for guests with mobility challenges

Fun day trip to Pompeii - Great trip! Easy train ride and shuttle to Pompeii from Rome. It was a scorcher, but our guide didn’t let it bother her and she was patient and informative throughout. Our 2-hour tour was just the right amount of time. Winery lunch was in a lovely setting and a nice reprieve from our trek. Easy shuttle and train trip back. Fun day!

Amazing day trip from Rome! - A wonderful day trip from Rome! Everything was handled very well. In fact, we were having some trouble finding the meeting point in the Rome train station, and I received a call from one of the guides to talk me over to them. Our guide in Pompeii was fantastic! Pompeii is well worth a visit. And the wine tasting and lunch were a great end to the day. Thank you!

George’s Informative and Fun Experience on Italia Tours - As an 82 year old Italian American who finally got to Rome, I had to make time for seeing Pompeii. Italy Tours planned and provided an experience far above my expectations. Our guide at Pompeii was knowledgeable and she didn’t make me feel like she was in a hurry even though our high speed train was rerouted and we were 55 minutes late in arriving in Napoli. Maybe for me the greatest thing they did was put me in with a group, mostly Americans and one Swedish family. They were funny and enjoyable to be with. The only thing I should have done was to write down their names and if they were willing the emails.

Pompeii - Carla was a wonderful guide. She was very personable, knowledgeable and engaging…even in sweltering heat. One suggestion for all tours: longer flags, signs or umbrellas. Very hard to follow our guide in Termini station.

Gotta Pompeii to Play & We Dug This Trip - Very much enjoyed the entire experience. Other than a slight delay returning to the Rome train station in the evening, the travel to/from Pompeii was easy and delightful. Luda was an excellent guide with lots of cool archeological insights and good crowd control techniques. The winery visit was surprisingly good and the portions and pours were generous. We felt we got our money’s worth.

Great day out - Trip was great. Guide was great only reason I give 4 stars was Pompeii is huge, there is so much to see and the tour tries to pack this in within 4 hrs- which we found wasn’t enough time, you get a high level overview but it moves very quickly and there is no extra time to explore. It’s a tight schedule, lunch at winery was great, beautiful setting. I thought it was well organized they make sure you get on the train at both ends. Clear directions and instructions for meeting points.

Not what I expected - This is not really a fully escorted experience. You are met at the train station in Rome and handed tickets. You then have to find the van in Naples by yourself. Our guide within Pompeii actually didn’t realize we had not kept up for a while. Return is similar. Find van to Naples and given train tickets.
