From Rome: Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius Volcano day trip with authentic Neapolitan pizza lunch

Join an unforgettable day trip from Rome to the ancient ruins of Pompeii and the majestic Mt. Vesuvius. Travel south along Italy’s famous Highway of the Sun in a modern, air-conditioned coach, accompanied by a knowledgeable tour leader who will share fascinating insights about the region throughout the journey.

Skip the lines to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii, a city frozen in time by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Guided by an expert archaeologist, walk through its preserved streets and step inside ancient homes, baths, food stores, and open air theatres that reveal everyday life nearly two thousand years ago.

After exploring Pompeii, enjoy lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant overlooking the Bay of Naples and Capri. Sit down to a full Italian meal with a tasty appetizer and delicious dessert, the perfect pause to savour local flavours and relax before continuing to Mount Vesuvius.

After lunch, continue to Mt. Vesuvius, one of Europe’s few active volcanoes. Choose between a scenic hike to the crater, offering breathtaking views of Capri and Sorrento, or a guided naturalistic walk with a geologist, exploring the mountain’s fascinating volcanic landscape.
