1.Rome to Pompeii Guided Tour with Wine & Lunch by High Speed Train

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,379 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $239Our pick

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…”

“This was really an insightful tour into a complete Roman city ruin. Provided a very real understanding of how the Romans lived and thought. Our host Alberto provided a clear view of how The Romans lived and the history of this particular city. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to truly explore the Roman day to day experience. Family was initially skeptical of “archaeological” tour (I was quite excited) but they all found the tour enlightening and enjoyable - no regrets at all. If traveling with teenagers - maybe offer them option to continue trek after tour to go to Ostia beaches just 1-2 stops further down rail from Ostia…”
