No trip to Italy is complete without seeing what the tragic city of Pompeii reveals about ancient life. However, few can fit it in without transport. Our relaxing day trip to Pompeii from Rome will take you on a climate-controlled bus on the Highway of the Sun to discover the south of Italy.

Skip the Lines into the tragic city of Pompeii

From start to finish you’ll have an English-speaking tour leader with you who is an expert in this region of Italy. In this acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site, your Tour Leaders will deal with the lines and the entrance tickets while you take in your first view of the half-buried city encased in rubble and ash.

After skipping the lines you’ll meet your own personal archaeologist. They’ll guide you along the paved streets that have been preserved for 1500 years under 20ft of volcanic ash. Unlike a museum, you’ll be able to enter the homes, baths, food stores and outdoor theaters which have preserved so much of ancient life.

Hike to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius or enjoy the city of Naples

After exploring Pompeii the coach will carry you up the slope of Mt. Vesuvius (from April – mid-November), one of the few active volcanoes in Europe. From here, you can take the short walk up to the steaming crater for views of Capri and Sorrento.

Mt. Vesuvius is closed during the winter so your coach will follow the coastline to Naples (from mid-November – March). Here you can explore the iconic Castle Nuovo, the famous art deco Umberto I Gallery, or simply stroll through the monumental Plebiscito Square.

Whatever time of the year you come to Italy, make sure you do not miss out on our full range of Pompeii Tours.

    Important Notes

    • From late November to March the Vesuvius isn't accessible. Also during summer months in rare cases of inclement weather or strikes, the crater of Vesuvius may be closed to visitors, therefore, if this is the case, it is replaced with a visit to Naples where you will get free time to explore the city.

     

    Cancelation Policy

    This tour is subject to a 24-hour cancelation policy. If you wish to cancel or amend your booking, you can do so without charge by contacting us up to 24 hours in advance of your expected departure time.

    FAQs

    • Is an advanced booking necessary or can I just show up at the meeting point?

      We strongly advise against arriving at the meeting point without a booking as we cannot guarantee that there will be space left on the tour. Our guides are unable to accept payment for tours so any bookings made on the spot will still need to be processed over the phone with payment by credit card.

    • Can I stay in Pompeii after the tour?

      Yes, you can. However, you will be responsible for organising your own transport back to Naples.

    • When can I amend my booking? (Tours in Europe)

      A booking cannot be amended with less than 24 hours notice. Amendments made before this window are possible, but may incur a charge. Any bookings made within the 24 hour window are final and cannot be amended or subject to compensation. Please note that this amendment policy does not apply to the Colosseum Underground Tour and the Colosseum by Night Tour that starts at 19:30 or later. These 2 tours cannot be amended from the time of the purchase, due to the fact that the Colosseum Underground entry tickets must be purchased using the full name of each passenger and cannot be modified or canceled.
