Why take this tour?

You will be taking a short train trip of 1 hour and 10 minutes from Rome's Termini Station to Naples where your private driver will pick you up and take you and your guide to Pompeii. You will then skip the line to the popular site and get escorted directly inside for an intimate, 2.5 hour guided tour of the ruins. You'll walk through the eerily abandoned streets of the ancient city buried in lava and choking ash one fateful day in 79 A.D. Discover it with us in the looming shadow of Vesuvius, and relive the dark events that paradoxically preserved the city at the very moment of its destruction. Wandering through Pompeii’s maze of streets still paved with ancient flagstones and rutted by the wheels of Roman chariots, you’ll get an incredible sense of what life was really like in antiquity. We’ll take care of all the details, including return high-speed train tickets from Rome and local car service, meaning all you have to do is enjoy your visit to Pompeii! After your tour, your driver will take you back to the Naples train station in time to catch the train back to Rome. Take advantage of an itinerary optimized for cost and time, allowing you to get the most out of your Pompeii experience.
