Pick the departure option that best suits your travel plans, with convenient connections available from Naples, Sorrento, and Rome.

If departing from Rome, high-speed train tickets between Rome and Naples are included. You will travel independently by train from Roma Termini to Naples Centrale, where you will meet your guide and join the rest of the group at the Starhotel Terminus, located right in front of the train station. Please note that the train journey from Rome is unaccompanied.

From Naples or Sorrento, meet your guide and driver at the designated meeting point and travel with the group by comfortable minibus.

Travel to Herculaneum and enter the archaeological site with your included skip-the-line ticket. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, Herculaneum offers an exceptional glimpse into Roman daily life thanks to its extraordinary state of preservation.

Follow your archaeologist guide through the ancient streets and discover remarkably preserved buildings, mosaics, frescoes, and even carbonized wooden objects. See highlights such as the Temple of the Augustales, the ancient beach area, the thermal baths, the Forum, the Samnite House, and the Gymnasium while learning about the people who once lived here.

Continue by minibus towards Pompeii, with a stop at La Cartiera before reaching the archaeological park.

At Pompeii, enjoy hassle-free entry with your included ticket and begin a fascinating two-hour guided walk through the ancient city. Your archaeologist guide will bring the ruins to life, explaining how Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and revealing what its streets, public buildings, shops, and private homes tell us about Roman society.

Explore some of Pompeii's most important monuments and buildings, which may include the Marina Gate, the Basilica, the Forum, the Forum Baths, the Lupanar, ancient bakeries, traditional thermopolia, prestigious private houses, and the famous plaster casts of the victims of the eruption.

At the end of the experience, return according to your selected departure option. Guests departing from Sorrento will return by minibus to Piazza Angelina Lauro while guests departing from Naples and Rome will be taken back to Starhotel Terminus near Naples Centrale in time to independently board their included high-speed train back to Roma Termini.
