Additional Information

Delve into a unique and ancient metropolis with a 2-hour guided exploration, revealing eerie snapshots of terror preserved in time, remnants of death, and archaeological remains almost 2000 years old. Meander through ancient avenues where remarkably preserved bakeries, storefronts, marketplaces, private and shared living spaces, public bathrooms, and surprisingly, even places of ill repute persist!

At the end of the guided exploration of Pompeii, we’ll stop by a notable pizzeria known for its genuine Pompeii-style pizza (bear in mind, we’re in the origin of Italian pizza, so the competition is stiff)! Post lunch, we’ll journey back to the core of Naples for further discovery.

Experience the spectacular scenery of Bay of Naples from Posillipo, where you’ll understand why the famous phrase ‘See Naples and die’ rings true. With Vesuvius casting a shadow from afar, admire one of the world’s most naturally and artistically significant cities from an impressive vantage point.

Best experience ever because of Antonio. - I can't say enough good things about our amazing tour guide Antonio Mosca. Antonio was engaging, incredibly informative, supremely patient, passionate about the subject, entertaining, selflessly generous, genuinely concerned about the well being and satisfaction of his guests, and, and, and... Without going into too much detail, Antonio left a lasting impression on me and the rest of my group. I was regularly stymied by the amount and quality of the information he shared concerning Pompeii and Naples. What's more, his passion for the topic was almost palpable. You could clearly see this wasn't just a job for him, but something he lives and breathes daily. These traits really brought the experience alive for us. And all of this despite difficulties that cropped up, and there were a couple whoppers. He was simply unflappable, indefatigable, and a pure pleasure. Unforgettable!

Great tour and wonderful guide - Despite the crazy heat in Pompeii (our fault for traveling to Italy in August!), this was an absolutely awesome experience. Federica was a knowledgeable hostess who loves Naples and happily shares that love with those on the tour!

Fantastic Pompeii Experience! - Our tour guide Paola was very informative! She was very patient, made sure we were comfortable and went with our pace. Fortunately we had a small group (8 ppl) so the tour was a bit more customized to our liking. Pompeii’s history is fascinating and touring the ruins gives you a peak on how the ancient civilizations lived. We also go to tour Naples. The lunch was superb!!!! Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour! - Pompei part of the tour was super nice! Napels deserves a separate vacation thou with visiting all its islands. Company is very caring of costumers, and the guide (for got her name she has a unicorn tattoo :)) was really good, she has a very good knowledge, answers all questions, and engages you in her stories.

Great day trip if you are staying in Rome - My family and I recently went on the Pompeii and Naples Day Trip from Rome by High Speed Train, organized by ItaliaTours, and it was a great experience overall. Having used ItaliaTours before, we knew we could expect excellent service, and they did not disappoint. The trip was smooth and without any issues. The team was very attentive and informative, meeting us at the stations and ensuring we got to and from Rome safely. Our tour guide, Rosella, was fantastic—knowledgeable and engaging, she made the history of Pompeii and Naples come alive for us. The only aspect that didn't meet our expectations was the lunch. We felt the quality could have been better and wished for more choices or freedom at the restaurant. However, this was not the fault of the tour operators at all. Despite this, we had a wonderful day exploring these incredible historical sites and would definitely recommend this tour to others. ItaliaTours continues to impress with their professionalism and excellent service.

A Fantastic tour of Pompeii! - My trip from Rome to Pompeii with Italia Tours was wonderful. They made the day seamless as far as finding and boarding the fast train to Naples (a 1 hour ride), and meeting us with a nice, air conditioned bus in Naples. Our guide, Rosella, was kind and knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of the most interesting parts of Pompeii. We then had a short walk to a lovely restaurant with a delicious 3 course meal including drinks a tiramisu. We took the bus on the 30 min ride to Naples where we had a driving tour of the most important sights, and drove up into to most beautiful part of the city that has views over looking the Mediterranean, Vesuvius, and the island of Capri. We then were given 1.5 hours to get a caffe and shop in the Naples shopping district. Finally, we were taken back to the station and Rosella made sure we found our train back to Rome. I absolutely recommend this tour. It was very well planned by Italia tours.

Good but rushed and hot. - The tour guide was lovely. It was a very hot and not alot of shade so I would take care of the day you choose. Its quite a lot to fit in one day and therefore you really didn't get a feel of naples. The lunch was OK, It could've been better.
