IntroductionDiscover history, art and archaeology on this fascinating day trip to Naples and Pompeii from Rome. Your journey takes you from Rome to the Gulf of Naples, where Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., devastating the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. On your full-day tour from Rome you'll travel along the Highway of the Sun, crossing the area known as Castelli Romani dotted with enchanting medieval villages. During the journey you will pass the ruined Abbey of Monte Cassino, destroyed during the Second World War.
After a photo stop at Naples' impressive Castel dell'Ovo (Egg Castle), you'll continue across Naples' historic center. You'll pass Naples' historic sights, including the Royal Palace, Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, San Carlo Opera House, Gallery of Umberto I and imposing Castel Nuovo.
Leaving Naples, you will cross the valley of Mount Vesuvius, passing through the villages of Ercolano (Herculaneum), Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata before arriving in Pompeii for lunch.
After lunch, you will take a two-hour walking tour of the ancient city of Pompeii with a local guide. A thrilling archaeological journey unfolds as you walk through the ancient ruins which were buried in ashes after Mount Vesuvius erupted almost 2000 years ago. You'll discover the everyday life of Rome's Imperial age at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, and imagine the panic felt by the people in those last few minutes before the city was so disastrously buried.
On the trip back to Rome (approximately three hours), you'll stop at a coral and cameo factory, where you will have the opportunity to purchase examples of this ancient craft that dates back to the Greek period.

Turned out, that Pompeii was much more fun than Naples (I expected otherwise). The guides were friendly and informative. I definitely recommend this trip if you are in Rome. We left 7 am and came back at 8. Nice that the bus drop people by hotels on the way back. Excellent value for this money! 2012-01-09 Timur Z , This tour was well worth it. The 5 star rating is only for Pompeii and definitely not Naples. Naples and the lunch at the restaurant consumed a lot of precious time that we could have used at Pompeii. But the excellent, mature, humorous tour guide in Pompeii made up for this. Herman 2012-01-09 Herman , Nice tour with very helping staff, highly recommended. 2012-01-05 Ahmad Q , Naples was really a very beautiful city. Pompeii was also a wonderful ancient place. The tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. Just a quick reminder for those people who are afraid of dogs like me that there are a lot of dogs there. 2012-01-05 Marzie D , Canada We had an amazing day on the tour. Picked up and returned to our hotel door by a very skilful driver in a clean, comfortable bus. The tour guide on the bus was excellent and the local guide in Pompeii was knowledgable and very entertaining. The lunch was also good - well done to the restaurant staff for serving a lot of people quickly with great food. We were really glad that we took the tour rather than trying to go by ourselves on the train as it was stress free and well organised 2012-01-03 Stephen S ,
