See Pompeii and learn about ancient life on an easy day trip from Rome. You’ll travel by bus along the Highway of the Sun.

An English-speaking tour leader will be with you throughout the day and will handle the lines and tickets. Once inside, you’ll meet an archaeologist who will guide you through Pompeii’s preserved streets, homes, baths, food stores, and outdoor theaters.

You can add an optional lunch at a local restaurant with views of the Bay of Naples and Capri. If selected, the meal includes pizza, an appetizer, and dessert.

After Pompeii, the coach continues up Mt. Vesuvius. You can choose a short walk to the crater or join a geologist for a more moderate hike and a closer look at the area’s geology.
