Pompeii Express Day Trip: High-Speed Train from Rome
Description
Meet our group leader at Termini Station in Rome and board the modern high-speed train to Naples. The lost city of Pompeii awaits after a one-hour ride and a quick transfer by coach. With your skip-the-line ticket in hand, enter the ruins and explore at your own pace. Step back in time as you wander the ancient cobblestone streets where bakeries, shops, and even hidden brothels stand as ghostly reminders of a past civilisation. Take in the tragic yet awe-inspiring plaster casts of the immortalized silent witnesses to the fury of Mt. Vesuvius during their devastating last moments alive. Feel the mystery deepen as you explore the perfectly preserved ruins of a city trapped in time. Take some time for a leisurely lunch, then return to the pre-set meeting point. Hop on our private air-conditioned coach for the short ride back to Naples before a smooth high-speed train journey back to Rome. As outlined above, this experience is self-guided inside the ruins at Pompeii.

Pompeii was incredible, and we really enjoyed visiting. Our guide Lucas was very helpful and made the trip down from Rome effortless. Would highly recommend this experience!
Lucas was excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly. We got even more from the tour than we expected. A++
Well organized and thorough. Guide was knowledgeable.
This was a great way to experience Pompeii, everything was organised for us and Laura our tour guide was exceptionally helpful. There was plenty of time to walk around Pompeii and see everything we wanted to see.
Tour guide Lucas was 10 out of 10. Pompei is a must see, but applicable signs, markings and maps, its a total mess.
Lucas is a fabulous guide! He made a great experience even better with all of his knowledge, wonderful insight and great personality. If he is your guide you will have an amazing time. The train was fun, Pompeii is really interesting and the coast is gorgeous. Really just a great day overall, if you are lucky enough to get Lucas it will be even more spectacular.
Complete chaos. From the meeting point at the station, to the drop off at the gates. Too many people with too many questions, and no answers.
Great day out . Would thoroughly recommend. Tiring and expensive but worth it. So much to see. Our guide for the journey , Lucas, was knowledgeable and lots of fun. Made things easy and enjoyable. My daughter and I were the only Brits on our English speaking tour . Travelled with lots of very charming Americans. While Pompeii itself was wonderful would warn people that walking around is not for anyone with mobility issues or pushchairs! Plus little shade and few opportunities to purchase food or drink once inside. But in general I’d say a must visit
Our family of four (two boys, 11 & 7 years old) traveled from Rome to Pompeii for a day trip and I can’t imagine what we would have done if we hadn’t been part of this tour group experience. Everything was taken care of for us (train travel plus shuttle to archaeological site from train station) and even when our train seats got a little mismatched, it was so comforting to know that our host, Laura, had everything under control and ensured we were taken care of! We did our own audio tour when we got to Pompeii and that was super easy too. That was the right call for our family who likely would not have been able to endure a formal tour with the heat/sun/miles of walking. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to do this again in the future and I will only travel with Italia Tours!
Had we not had a guide (Julia), would have not had the same experience. We would have missed so much. Learning about Pompei at school a million years ago snd seeing it is mind blowing. From what we learnt v what we heard on tour very different. Seeing it first hand makes you appreciate the significant task of uncovering the site. This was followed up by lunch and wine tasting at an amazing winery with a very funny host
