What to expect

Visit Pompeii in half a day – saving hours of time compared to bus tours!

This half-day tour will depart from Termini Station in Rome, where you will meet your tour coordinator and receive your train tickets - let us take care of all seating arrangements so that you can relax and enjoy your 1-hour trip to Naples. During the ride, enjoy the gorgeous scenery in the comfort of your air-conditioned, high-speed train.

Your local, expert guide will welcome you as soon as you arrive in Naples. Enjoy your short, exclusive private coach transfer to reach the excavation site of Pompeii where you will meet your official English-speaking guide. Here you will take part in a 2-hour fully guided tour of the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pompeii is considered one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world. Here, time stopped in 79 AD, when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and covered people, streets and homes with its lava, capturing the lives of its inhabitants and the tragedy of that moment for eternity. Your guide will help you understand how the citizens lived prior to the eruption, and you will discover the ruins and death casts that have been preserved here for centuries.

You will also have the unique opportunity to explore the recently-opened Domus (homes of the ancient city’s most influential people) and after a short coffee break or local souvenir shopping, you will meet your driver who will accompany you back to Naples, who will stay with you until your departure to Rome on a high-speed train.

The coach will take you to the train station, where your English-speaking driver will take care of all arrangements to ensure that you have a comfortable, safe and relaxing trip back. You will have enough golden hours remaining to enjoy the rest of the day in the Eternal City.

    Melanie was amazing!!! She was so knowledgeable and helpful to us throughout the tour. She helped us also plan our day for the following day, giving us tips and places to go and eat. She was the best! She helped to give us an experience we will never forget. If we are ever back in Rome and take another tour through you, we would cross our fingers to have her again. Wonderful!

    Extremely enjoyable, well facilitated by informative and eloquent guides. A wide range of information provided to keep the long journey interesting covering a variety of interesting topics. The visit to Versuvius was impressive and both myself and my partner were in awe of Pompeii.

    We recently took the day trip tour to Vesuvius and Pompeii with City Wonders and we were extremely happy. Our most excellent guides were Antonina and Valentina, who were knowledgeable, very professional, English-fluent, and extremely pleasant and hard working for what was a long working day for them. We are dissapointed that the Italians have not seen fit to put in bathrooms at Vesuvius National Park despite charging entrance fees (but that is not the fault of your company)! Walking up Vesuvius was a scenic and historical thrill. Our guides did an excellent job of setting the expectations for getting to the top (or whatever) in the amount of time alloted, and this was VERY helpful. I was able to get to the top but if I was "prepared" to turn around without making the top because I knew how much time to allow. At Pompeii our local guide, Enrico, had dry wit and was spectacularly knowledgeable. Our bus driver, Carlo, was expert and safe - which we appreciated on those roads!! Again, thanks and appreciation to Antonina and Valentina who made our day pleasant and memorable. We would definitely recommend and book again.
