Itinerary
Hop on a high-speed train from Rome and relax in your reserved seat. As we head south, your guide will share fascinating stories about Pompeii’s tragic past and the mighty Mount Vesuvius. The ride takes only 1h.
Once we arrive in Naples, we’ll take the Circumvesuviana train, a local railway that circles the volcano—offering a unique and authentic Italian experience on our way to Pompeii.
With skip-the-line entry, you'll have two hours to explore Pompeii at your own pace, with entry ticket included. Walk through ancient streets, visit the Forum, temples, and markets, and see how life froze in time nearly 2,000 years ago. Want to dive deeper? You can rent an audio guide or book a licensed tour guide through us. Feeling hungry? Join your tour leader for a delicious Neapolitan pizza lunch, famous worldwide for its flavor and tradition.
After Pompeii, we return to Naples, one of Italy’s most vibrant cities. Stroll down Via Toledo, explore historic squares, and take in the lively Spaccanapoli district, known for its bustling streets and local markets.
We’ll also make sure to visit some of Naples’ most famous spots, like Piazza Plebiscito, San Carlo Theatre, Galleria Umberto I, and Maschio Angioino castle.
After a day full of history, culture, and amazing food, we’ll catch our high-speed train back to Rome, arriving between 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM. This tour is perfect for those who want to see two must-visit destinations in one day, without the stress of planning and without travelling by bus for long hours. Just relax and enjoy the adventure—we’ll take care of everything!

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
