Meet our group leader at Termini Station in Rome and board the ultra-modern high-speed train to Naples. The lost city of Pompeii awaits after a one-hour ride and a quick transfer by coach. With your skip-the-line ticket in hand, enter the ruins and explore at your own pace.

Step back in time as you wander the ancient cobblestone streets where bakeries, shops, and even hidden brothels stand as ghostly reminders of a past civilisation. Take in the tragic yet awe-inspiring plaster casts of the immortalized silent witnesses to the fury of Mt. Vesuvius during their devastating last moments alive. Feel the mystery deepen as you explore the perfectly preserved ruins of a city trapped in time.

After exploring Pompeii, take some time for a leisurely lunch or explore the local shops, then return to the pre-set meeting point. Hop on our private air-conditioned coach for the short ride back to Naples before a smooth high-speed train journey back to Rome. You’ll return not just with memories, but with a sense of wonder, having experienced a fascinating world that was lost and rediscovered.

Tours depart promptly at the scheduled time. Please note that public transport throughout Italy can be unreliable. Allow plenty of time to get from your accommodation to the meeting point, or contact us to arrange for a private transfer. No refunds will be granted for failure to arrive at the meeting point on time.

Tours depart rain or shine unless otherwise specified.

During peak season and on the days surrounding national and/or religious holidays, extreme crowding can be expected at tourist attractions across Italy, leading to increased wait times to pass through security checks despite Tour Operator priority access. While this is beyond our control, we do our best to minimize any inconvenience.
