This acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site will take you back in time to the moment when life here came to a fiery end. See the best of the archaeological area together with the plaster casts of some of Pompeii’s residents on a journey that will ignite your imagination.
Your air-conditioned bus will take you to the foot of the Mt. Vesuvius crater. Hike the rest of the way up to get sweeping views over the Bay of Naples from an elevation of 1,281 meters, and take a look inside the sometimes still steaming caldera of the volcano.*
You’ll be able to sit back and enjoy your Pompeii experience knowing that everything has been perfectly planned for you. Enjoy entertaining and informative commentary from your guides, an authentic Neapolitan pizza lunch and a comfortable private coach.
Visit the ruins of Pompeii and the volcano that did the damage on our Pompeii Day Trip from Rome. We’ll whisk you directly from Rome to Pompeii where you’ll meet your official, licensed Pompeii tour guide. Traveling in groups of only 25 people or less, you’ll explore examples of every building in Pompeii – from homes to bath houses, fast food stores to outdoor theaters.
All tour operators are obliged to use official local tour guides in Pompeii and we’ve selected the most entertaining and knowledgeable available to ensure that your Pompeii Day Trip from Rome is as enjoyable as it is memorable. Our licensed Pompeii guides are expert English-speakers too – so we’ll give you headsets to be sure that you catch every word, with a little extra space for wandering and picture-taking.
Follow your expert local guide as they recreate the hustle and bustle of this once-busy port town, explaining what each building was used for, where families ate their meals, did laundry and socialized – and where sailors went when they docked. They’ll recreate for you the final days of Pompeii as you examine the harrowing death casts scattered around these ruins at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius.
Our Pompeii day trip doesn’t end here, however. We’ll drive a short way to perhaps the most dangerous volcano in the world – a title held for the 3 million people living around its base today. Just over a half-mile hike up Mt. Vesuvius* from the parking lot below the crater offers the most stunning view of the Bay of Naples below and a taste of the utter devastation it must have caused when it exploded in 79 AD, literally wiping Pompeii off the map for 1,500 years.

Brilliant stories and history talks...
Brilliant stories and history talks, kept us both thoroughly entertained throughout the journey to and from Pompeii. Even included facts about Rome and other areas as we were traveling through.
Claudia did a great job...
Claudia did a great job on a wet rainy day! Had such a great time I hardly noticed it was raining, Loved all the history and she and her partner shared with us on the bus. Made the long bus trip shorter. The tour had a 6 year old boy and it. Both guides did a great job of making sure he was involved and having a great time too. I was a bit disappointed that Vesuvius was closed due to fire and weather, but La Sulfratara was a great substitute. The volcanologist did a great job as well. Really liked what we saw for City Wonders!
Antonina and Ana were...
Antonina and Ana were delightful to spend the day with. They not only explained the background history of the region, but they also educated us about Italian food and customs.
