Frozen in time by Mount Vesuvius' catastrophic eruption in 79 AD, Pompeii was once a bustling Roman city. Excavations reveal remarkably preserved ruins, offering insights into daily life, architecture, and art of the Roman era. This tour vividly brings the UNESCO World Heritage site to life, offering a captivating journey through Pompeii's rich heritage.

This Pompeii guided tour provides two diverse options for your itinerary, with the added convenience of skip-the-line access. Choose between combining the visit to the ancient ruins of Pompeii with a hike up Mount Vesuvius or a comprehensive day trip to the Amalfi and Positano.

At Mount Vesuvius, you'll witness stunning panoramas that contrast Pompeii's ruins with vibrant Naples, known for its authentic Neapolitan pizza and historic streets. Meanwhile, the Amalfi Coast, including charming Positano, boasts breathtaking cliffs meeting the Tyrrhenian Sea and charming streets, promising a delightful experience for every traveler.

The Mount Vesuvius option includes a delightful 3-course lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant boasting stunning views of the Bay of Naples. However, please note that Mount Vesuvius is inaccessible from early November to March. During this period, your itinerary will be adjusted to explore charming Positano instead, ensuring your journey remains unforgettable.

The activity is offered in 1 language: English, welcoming English speakers of all levels.

The tour begins and ends in Rome, with the meeting point at Piazza del Popolo near the notable fountain with lions and the obelisk. The nearest metro stop is Flaminio (Line A).
