Meet your tour representative at Rome Termini, ride the high-speed train to Naples, and explore Pompeii with an expert guide. Afterward, visit a Vesuvius winery for five or six wine tastings, antipasti, pasta, and dessert before returning to Rome.

“I was very excited about this tour in the way it was described. One notable thing, while they do not say 'small group', I was surprised to see exactly how large of a group we were. My fault for not asking about the group size, but that was a slight dissappoinment right off the bat. Overall, not completely dissatisfied, but for what this was, it did NOT deliver equivalent value to the cost. The guides were all professional and wonderful, as was the van driver from Naples to Pompeii. Also, nice train ride, they give you business class. The Pompeii ruins tour was good, but there hardly any plaster casts…”

“Our guide Michael was excellent, filling us in with the history of places, wound through with entertaining 'back stories'. Only criticism is that I went to the main station where the staff were somewhat confused about the type of trip, until they found an English speaking woman (I wish I had taken a mote of her name) who, on seeing the email I had been sent, took us direct to where Michael was waiting. So, perhaps supply the guide with mobile phone numbers of participants, just in case. This trip was the highlight of my one week stay.”
