On this
fascinating day trip to Naples and ancient Pompeii your journey takes
you from Rome to the Gulf of Naples, where Mount Vesuvius erupted
in 79 A.D., devastating the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
On your full-day tour from Rome you'll travel along the Highway of
the Sun, crossing the area known as Castelli Romani dotted with enchanting
medieval villages. During the journey you will pass the ruined Abbey
of Monte Cassino, destroyed during the Second World War. |

After
a photo stop at Naples' impressive Castel dell'Ovo (Egg Castle), you'll
continue across Naples' historic centre. You’ll pass Naples'
historic sights, including the Royal Palace, Basilica of San Francesco
di Paola, San Carlo Opera House, Gallery of Umberto I and imposing
Castel Nuovo.
Leaving
Naples, you will cross the valley of Mount Vesuvius, passing through
the villages of Ercolano (Herculaneum), Torre del Greco and Torre
Annunziata before arriving in Pompeii for lunch.
After
lunch, you will take a two-hour walking tour of the ancient city
of Pompeii with a local guide. A thrilling archaeological journey
unfolds as you walk through the ancient ruins which were buried
in ashes after Mount Vesuvius erupted almost 2000 years ago. You'll
discover the everyday life of Rome's Imperial age at this UNESCO
World Heritage Site, and imagine the panic felt by the people in
those last few minutes before the city was so disastrously buried.
