Full description
Join this amazing journey through space and time, entering Pompeii: a unique document of Greco-Roman life.  Begin your journey down the “Highway of the Sun”, passing through the famous Roman countryside, Castelli Romani. Enjoy incredible views of the Mediterranean, Mount Vesuvius, and countless historic sites. The first stop is in Naples. This Mediterranean city is famous for its rich history, art, culture, and gastronomy. Drive up the Vomero hill for a view over the town which overlooks the bay of Naples and extends from the Sorrento peninsula to the volcanic area of Phlegrean fields. The skyline is dominated by the majestic and still active volcano Vesuvius. This is the perfect spot to take photos of this stunning landmark. Driving down towards the port of Mergellina, travel south towards Mount Vesuvius and the town of Pompeii. After stopping for a traditional Italian lunch, make your way to the UNESCO Archaeological Site of Pompeii with Skip the Line Tickets. Spend the afternoon exploring this once thriving city that was frozen in time by layers of volcanic ash. Pompeii remained buried under a layer of pumice stones and ash 19 to 23 feet (6 to 7 meters) deep. The city’s sudden burial served to protect it for the next 17 centuries from vandalism, looting, and the destructive effects of climate and heavy weather.  After your tour of Pompeii, resume your trip through the Roman countryside, enjoying the scenery as you leisurely make your way back to Rome. Return in time to enjoy the rest of the night in Rome at your leisure.

Veronika – GermanySeptember 29, 2023 – Verified booking
Overall, we really liked it, except for the regional guide from Naples who looked after French and German participants. His knowledge of German and his knowledge of Pompeii were limited, his leadership was not very professional (there was no signal sign for the group, the Odeion was not shown), and the explanations about Naples were rudimentary. However, the primary guide (Andrea), who was very friendly and helpful, deserves praise.

The bus trip there and back was excellent. I wish we had more time at the ruins, we had a 2hr tour with 45 mins of free time. It may be nice to have the pizza for dinner instead as it was quite filling while the tour itself was mid afternoon. The rest stop was a bit over priced with its goods but had espresso.

Well organised and great for the first visit of Pompeii. In our opinion, the 20 minutes break 5 minutes after one hour lunch break, right after we arrived Pompeii, to go to toilets (even though there were toilets at the restaurant) and the possibility to visit a shop, was not necessary. Those who would like to visit the shop might do it after the guided tour. We got just 20 minutes on our own at Pompeii to visit the museum. A little bit to short time for us.
