Description
Immerse yourself in ancient Italy on a stress-free day trip from Rome to Pompeii. Travel by air-conditioned private bus with an English-speaking tour leader for a smooth and comfortable experience.
Skip the lines and enter one of Italy’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your archaeologist guide will lead you through Pompeii’s preserved streets, homes, baths, food stores, and theaters, revealing remarkable insights into daily Roman life.
If the upgraded option is selected, enjoy a traditional lunch at a restaurant with panoramic views of the Bay of Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and nearby islands. The meal includes pizza, an appetizer, and dessert.
For those who add the Mount Vesuvius option, continue with a scenic ascent to the volcano. Choose between a guided hike to the crater or a more relaxed naturalistic walk led by a professional geologist, offering unique insights into the volcanic landscape.
- The hike up to the crater of Vesuvius is optional and requires a good level of general fitness to complete. The hike is uphill at a 14-degree angle and 20 minutes long (about 1 mile). The hike is prevalently on soft ground, and adequate footwear is recommended. For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, you can instead choose to enjoy a scenic and informative walking tour led by an expert geologist at Vesuvius.
- In rare cases of inclement weather or strikes, the crater of Vesuvius may be closed to visitors and an alternative visit to the city of Sorrento will be included instead where you will get free time to explore the city.
- Please be advised that in the case of events beyond our control, we may need to adjust our itinerary to ensure the safety, quality, and satisfaction of your travel experience.
