Pompeii Day Trip
Day Trip Details
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 sightseeing 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.
Next, we'll venture into the valley of Vesuvius and head over to eat at a restaurant. The menu includes a pizza Margherita, Napolitana, with mortadella or ham, as well as a mixed salad, dessert and water, wine, a soft drink, or a beer.
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.
Important Info
From March 3, 2025, please note that we will also visit Sorrento. Before arriving at Pompeii, you'll have some free time in Sorrento to explore this beautiful city in the Gulf of Naples. From this date onwards, food will not be included in the tour, so you will have to grab lunch yourself.
Tour Options
During the booking process, you can choose between two options:
- Tour with pickup: with this option, you'll be picked up from the main hotels in the centre of Rome that have a 24-hour reception. Please note that this option does not include a return transfer to your hotel.
- Tour without pickup: go directly to the meeting point in Piazzale Flaminio next to viale Giorgio Washington. If you are staying in flats or a bed and breakfast you should select the option without pick-up.
