Rome to Pompeii Guided Tour with Wine & Lunch by High Speed Train
Description
Most day trips to Pompei from Rome take 12 or more hours and involve 6 to 8 hours sitting on a cramped bus. This all-inclusive tour by high-speed train is the utmost in comfort, quality and convenience. Reach Naples in one hour, and from there in only 35 minutes by coach we arrive at Pompeii where your expert local guide will amaze you during a walking tour of this city devastated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79. Experience a world frozen in time as you stroll along the cobblestone ancient roads where perfectly conserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, residences, public baths and even brothels remain! Take in the tragic plaster casts of the Pompeiians who were immortalized on that devastating day by pyroclastic flow and ash. Upon conclusion of the guided tour you'll enjoy a tasting of four of the wines produced in the fertile volcanic soil of Mt. Vesuvius followed by an abundance of antipasti, a first course and dessert before returning to Naples for your return trip.

Excellent tour guide with Vince! He was very fun’s and knowledgeable about Pompeii! A great tour and experience!
An amazing tour of the City of Pompeii. The enormity of the city cannot be imagined in pictures. Our guide was excellent and his knowledge of Pompeii was amazing. The winery was a nice place to relax and taste some new wines with a light lunch. The employees at the winery were amazing.
very well organized, meeting spot was easy to find and access. Good transitions with train and bus. No confusion! Your guides were not just informative but engaging. Fascinating site. The winery and lunch were a cherry on top. Lovely winery, tasty lunch and nice break after the walking tour of Pompeii
Very well organized. We knew what to do if we got separated, where and when to be places and exactly which coach, seats and drivers were ours before setting off. Everything was exactly as described and we enjoyed the experience in Pompeii as well as the 3 course lunch at the winery. Overall, this tour was good for those wanting to see it but would definitely recommend spending more time there if you can.
this was a wonderful experience. great guide, great food and wine, fun train trip, and the bus trip was even fun. would highly recommend to pretty much anyone. be prepared for the heat though, as there are a lot of spots with no shade on the tour, so bring water.
Tour of the ruins of Pompeii was amazing, tour guide was great. The winery part of the tour was advertised as a farm-to-table wine tasting and lunch experience. The wine selection was enjoyable, and I have no complaints regarding the tasting itself. However, the dining portion of the experience fell short of expectations. The food service seemed somewhat disorganized, and the featured pasta dish was particularly disappointing. Given the farm-to-table description, I was expecting a meal that showcased fresh, locally sourced ingredients with more depth of flavor and creativity. Unfortunately, the pasta sauce was quite plain and lacked the richness and seasoning one would anticipate from a signature farm-to-table offering. Even a small addition of meat, vegetables, or more robust seasoning would have significantly improved the dish. While the wine experience was worthwhile, the lunch did not match the quality or expectations set by the tour description. With some attention to the food preparation and service, the overall experience could be much stronger.
Really great tour, very well run. Both Luca and Paola (the local guide) were so helpful, fun, and informative. The wine & lunch was a perfect ending to a perfect day!
This is the full Pompeii experience without any hassle! From pick up to drop off everything was handled smoothly and expertly leaving the trip stress free and spectacular
So much history. Federica was a great guide who kept it all very interesting. She did a great job!
We would definitely book this trip again! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Pompeii! Our guides were wonderful: helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
