Description

Discover the power of Mount Vesuvius and the legacy of the Roman Empire on a day trip from Rome. Choose between a guided tour of Pompeii or Herculaneum.
Leave Rome in the morning aboard a high-speed train and reach Naples in just over one hour. From there, comfortable transfers will take you toward the legendary Mount Vesuvius and the ancient Roman cities buried by its eruption in 79 AD.

Climb to the crater of Mount Vesuvius and stand on the edge of one of the most famous volcanoes in the world. Then continue your journey into history with your choice of Pompeii or Herculaneum.

Vesuvius & Pompeii
Begin with the ascent to Mount Vesuvius. Your entrance ticket is included, along with a Digital Guide to help you understand the geological history and dramatic story of the eruption that changed the Roman world forever. Walk along the crater rim and admire breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples.
After descending, continue to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. Enjoy a guided tour led by an expert licensed guide who will bring the ancient city back to life. Walk through remarkably preserved streets, explore villas, temples, baths, and the Forum, and discover how daily life unfolded before the catastrophic eruption of 79 AD. Learn about Roman society, architecture, and the powerful force of nature that shaped history.
At the end of the guided tour, you will independently board a local train from Pompeii to Naples (tickets included), where you will then take your high-speed train back to Rome.

Vesuvius & Herculaneum
Start with Mount Vesuvius, including entrance ticket and Digital Guide. Walk up to the crater and enjoy spectacular panoramic views while learning about the volcano’s powerful history.
Afterwards, continue to Herculaneum, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under volcanic mud, which preserved buildings, wood structures, mosaics, and even organic materials in exceptional detail.
Enjoy a guided tour led by an expert guide who will bring the ancient city to life, revealing daily life, architecture, and fascinating stories of its inhabitants.
After the visit, return comfortably to Naples and board your high-speed train back to Rome.
