Pompeii
World famous Pompeii is probably the most popular destination to visit from Rome on a day tour.
Like Stonehenge is to London, Pompeii is equally famous and similarly within striking distance of the capital city.
Pompeii was not only a flourishing port but a prosperous resort with many villas. An earthquake in AD 63 did much damage, and an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried Pompeii.
Under the cinders and ashes, Pompeii was preserved with magnificent completeness—down to the fresh colours of the wall paintings. The long-forgotten site of the city was rediscovered in 1748 and has been sporadically excavated since that time.

The plaster cast bodies of the Pompeii victims are the most vivid shocking reminders of the horrific event that made Pompeii famous.
The Pompeii citizens were choked by the ash and pumice-stone dust or killed by the accompanying poison gas.
As you tour the site, visions like these bring the volcanic eruption to life.
Pompeii is south of Rome on the other side of Naples. It a long but memorable day. Most of the guided tours include a 2 hour walking tour of Pompeii coupled with another attraction in the morning.
If you are really interested in the subject you can spend more time at Pompeii by taking a shuttle to and from Pompeii from Rome and explore Pompeii independently.
Florence
Florence is a similar 3 hours or so journey from Rome.
Like Pompeii there is a choice of a shuttle giving you total independence to explore what you want to see at a pace that suits yourself or go on a fully guided traditional tour complete with admissions and lunch.
Travel from Rome to Florence you'll travel in a northerly direction to cross the green valley of the Tevere and the slopes of the Apennines covered with olive groves and vineyards. You'll also cross the famous wine-growing valley of Chianti before arriving in Florence.
Since the early nineteenth century Florence has been celebrated by many as the most beautiful city in Italy.
The pinnacle of Brunelleschi's stupendous cathedral dome dominates the cityscape. Wander from here down towards the River Arno and the attraction still holds: beyond the broad Piazza della Signoria, site of the towering Palazzo Vecchio, the river is spanned by the medieval, shop-lined Ponte Vecchio, with the gorgeous church of San Miniato al Monte glistening on the hill behind it.
Italian Scenery - Amalfi Coast, Island of Capri, Umbria & Tuscany
For a complete contrast to Rome, get away from the city and take in the more scenic splendours of the region. A range of options are available, you can even combine Pompeii with the scenic delights of the Amalfi Coast.
