Rome to Pompeii & Naples: High-Speed Train Day Trip with Lunch
Description
Enjoy a 2-hour guided tour exploring the details of this one-of-a-kind ancient city while uncovering moments of terror frozen in time, death postures, and ruins unchanged from almost two millennia ago. Stroll along the ancient streets where perfectly conserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, private and communal residences, public baths, and yes, even brothels remain! Upon conclusion of the guided tour in Pompeii, we’ll visit a historic pizzeria serving some of the most authentic pizza Pompei has to offer (and remember, we’re in the birthplace of Italian pizza, so it’s a competitive market)! After lunch, we’ll make the short ride back to the heart of Naples for more exploring. Take in the breathtaking view of the Bay of Naples from Posillipo, where the famous saying “See Naples and die” will suddenly make perfect sense. While Vesuvius looms in the distance, take in one of the most naturally and artistically beautiful cities in the world from a stunning vantage point.

Our guide was amazing, very friendly was easy to understand. We were traveling with 4 teenage girls, so he asked us about more sensitive topics before talking about them or showing them to us, which we appreciated. The tour was a good amount of time when traveling with teenagers 15-16y. The lunch was wonderful and big, they kept bringing us food and we could not finish it. The buses AC worked amazingly well. The driver was very nice. the guide answered all of our questions and was very patient with the girls. 10/10
Pompeii was an amazing archeological site as you would expect. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we all understood what we were looking at. Antonio was professional and kind, he paid attention to the adults as well as the children. The winery lunch after the tour was over the top! The food was incredible an fresh with simple ingredients and the wine/limoncello was delicious. This excursion was a highlight of our trip. The winery was great for our daughter who is 10 and 2 friends she made while on the tour to explore and run around in after a day of walking through history. The winery is beautiful and the staff was very friendly.
The walking portion of the tour was a little too fast - didn't have time to admire and or learn about the scenery. Granted it was very very hot when we did this tour and I think everyone wanted to just get into AC. Meeting point not well marked or explained at the train station. Guides seemed a little impatient and harried. Again, to be fair, it was almost a 100 degrees Faranheit out.
The trip was spectacular. Our guide, Felicia , was outstanding. More than qualified to lead us through the ruins of Pompeii, she gave us the highlights and interesting facts with enthusiasm. The high speed train and motor coach transpiration were awesome. The tour of Pompeii was fantastic. The wine tasting and lunch afterwards was a great experience and pleasantly surprising- exceeding all expectations. I would highly recommend this tour if you have not been to Pompeii previously. It’s a great way to learn about the city and have fun at the same time.
If you could only pick one day trip from Rome (and wanted to see Pompeii), do this one! Being able to do the high speed train for an hour was so much better than 3 hours on a bus. Having all the transfers prearranged made navigation a breeze. Frederica was our guide in Pompeii and she was so knowledgeable, kind, and patient with my two daughters (aged 2.5 and 6). The wine tasting at Bosch di Medici afterwards was such a nice treat and so relaxing after a busy few hours at Pompeii. I will be recommending this tour to anyone I know who comes to Rome.
This tour was fun and just the right amount of time at each sight. Our driver was amazing in the traffic of Naples and our guide was very informative. It was a long day, but the time on the train was relaxing and it was great to see a little of the countryside.
The best way to see both Pompeii and Naples from Rome for the day. They made it all so easy from the minute we got to the train station. Antonio was just best. The lunch spot was just a perfect spot and really good food. If you get Antonio as your guide, you’re going to have an awesome time.
Well organized trip from Rome with excellent guidance getting on the train and back along with A great tour of Pompeii led by “Enzo” Lunch and Wine tasting was a nice break from the walking of the ruins
Our tour guide was the best. She ruined the rest of our trip because all tours after her were disappointing because they didn’t compare to her. She was amazing. The lunch provided was above and beyond and I’m a huge eater. The pace was perfect. This was our favorite tour of our 2 week trip.
Guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch was really good! Lots of walking but worth it. Well ran tour
