Pompeii, Italy
Pompeii Day Trip from Rome
Pompeii is the world’s most famous Roman archaeological site, and Rome is just close enough for a very long day trip. This tour takes the logistics off your hands.
After a morning transfer south, a local guide leads you through the paved streets, the forum, the baths and the best-preserved houses. You learn how the people lived, what they ate and how the eruption of AD 79 buried the town. You then have free time for lunch and to revisit sights.
It is a long day, around twelve to thirteen hours door to door, so wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Timings are indicative; check current details when you enquire.
