About

What does the Pompeii and Herculaneum tour include?

This full-day tour departs from Rome by pre-booked high-speed train to Naples (approximately 1 hour), followed by a short AC coach transfer to the archaeological sites. An expert guide leads you through both Pompeii and Herculaneum, covering the key highlights of each site before you return to Rome by train in the evening.

What will I see at Pompeii?

Your guide brings the ancient city to life along its cobblestone streets, from the Forum and Temple of Jupiter to remarkably preserved houses like the House of the Faun and the House of the Vettii. You will see the remains of shops, baths, and public buildings that were buried under volcanic ash in 79 AD and have been gradually excavated since the 18th century.

What makes Herculaneum different from Pompeii?

Herculaneum was a smaller, wealthier coastal town that was buried under superheated volcanic mud rather than ash. This means organic materials like wood, food, and textiles are far better preserved here than at Pompeii. Your guide, a trained archaeologist, takes you through the site's highlights including the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, the Suburban Baths, and the shoreline where preserved remains were discovered in the ancient boat sheds.

How does transport work?

You depart on a pre-booked high-speed train from Roma Termini to Naples (about 1 hour). An air-conditioned coach covers the short transfer to Pompeii. After visiting both sites, a minivan takes you back to Naples central station for the return train to Rome. Total journey time is approximately 10.5 hours.
