Pompeii Express Day Trip: High-Speed Train from Rome
Description
Meet our group leader at Termini Station in Rome and board the modern high-speed train to Naples. The lost city of Pompeii awaits after a one-hour ride and a quick transfer by coach. With your skip-the-line ticket in hand, enter the ruins and explore at your own pace. Step back in time as you wander the ancient cobblestone streets where bakeries, shops, and even hidden brothels stand as ghostly reminders of a past civilisation. Take in the tragic yet awe-inspiring plaster casts of the immortalized silent witnesses to the fury of Mt. Vesuvius during their devastating last moments alive. Feel the mystery deepen as you explore the perfectly preserved ruins of a city trapped in time. Take some time for a leisurely lunch, then return to the pre-set meeting point. Hop on our private air-conditioned coach for the short ride back to Naples before a smooth high-speed train journey back to Rome. As outlined above, this experience is self-guided inside the ruins at Pompeii.

Our guide Laure was amazing full of information and very friendly. The trip itself was very well organised and ran to time. We had a great day out in Pompeii and would definitely use italiatours again.
Superb experience at most times of the year but I would avoid the summer months, a great day out from Rome and could have spent a lot longer on site. Not to be missed!
The trip was absolutely fantastic. The meeting point was easy to find. The train journey was excellent. Will definitely go back to Pompei in the cooler weather. Very interesting but remarkably sad. Our guide Luca was absolutely 💯 👌. He was interesting, funny and friendly. His communication skills were excellent. He made everyone feel safe. Highly recommend
We had a fantastic time in Pompeii. Our guide Luca was so friendly and helpful. Luca took care of the everything which made it easy. Pompeii is such a fascinating place. Highly recommend!
What a great day out. From the meeting point to the return everything was planned meticulously. Gianluca was a great host and funny along the way. Travelling by high speed train was a delight. 5 hours to roam Pompeii on your own was the right way to do this. However, you still wont see it all. I will book this again to visit the areas I failed to see this time.
Our guide was delightful! Would highly recommend for ease of travel.
Very efficient trip to Pompeii from Rome. Easy to meet in Rome at Termini, quick train to Naples, and simple shuttle bus to Pompeii. I would recommend scheduling a tour guide to meet you at Pompeii in advance. Our tour guide Fab was great. He called his friend Francesco who came in 10 minutes and gave us a 2 hour tour. It worked out great. Very educational and relaxed tour.
Pompeii was incredible, and we really enjoyed visiting. Our guide Lucas was very helpful and made the trip down from Rome effortless. Would highly recommend this experience!
Lucas was excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly. We got even more from the tour than we expected. A++
Well organized and thorough. Guide was knowledgeable.
